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.
There is a separate entry for the pre 1986 independent Ruddles.

Cask at JDW Holloway. Amber coloured with white lager like head. Aroma is yeasty and wheaty. Taste quite grainy, bit of malt and a bit of socks. Slight bitter finish. Unspectacular.

Can, 4.3%. Clear amber, lasting thick offwhite head. Malty aroma, some hoppy notes. Malty, bitter flavour, metallic notes. Feels a little light despite the slighlty metallic, rough bitterness.

Cask @ JDW Montgomery's Tower. Pours clear gold, aroma is pale malt, woody. Taste is exceptionally light, exceptionally bland with vague cask beer flavours that struggle to define themselves. Hard to form an opinion of something so nondescript.

Cask at The Shakespeare: pours muddy light brown with a loose cask head. Aroma is light caramel and toffee. Taste is actually a bit of earthy bitterness. Also, there is a sorf of butterscotch finish. Somewhat sweet. ok.
