Description
Ruddles Brewery was a brewery in Rutland, England. The brand is now owned by Greene King who still brew beers under the Ruddles name in Suffolk, although the current recipes are not those used at the original brewery.

Ruddles became owned by Watneys in 1986, and then Grolsch in 1992, it was sold to Morland & Co in 1997. Morlands moved production to Abingdon only for that site to be closed by Greene King which took over Morlands in 2000.

Beautifully dark amber appearance. Nutty aroma. Crisp, nice maltiness. Rather light bodied. Fruity early sweetness, but dry bitter finish. Very english and really tasty.

Tasted it cask-conditioned, but i believe it had lost a bit during transportation - it appeared nicely balanced though.
