Description
Brewed in London from 1837, Watneys was a household name that fell on hard times a couple of generations ago, but now it’s back.

The Brand was purchased by Brands Reunited in 2016, which then changed it's name to Watneys.

Beers are brewed again in London.

Cask at Kings Head, Waterloo. Malty caramel aroma. Light brown. Surprisingly light for a Brown Ale, assumed it was a bitter. Fluffy if not impressive off-white head.sweet with some light bitterness. Slightly sour, in the vein of vinegar. Medium bodied. Light. Soft carbonation. Abrupt finish. Not great. As far as brown ales go this is more like a sweet bitter.

White fluffy head stayed well on a still, copper coloured body. Dark fruit & malt aroma with citrus hints. Medium bodied, soft, tingly & a flat back. Well balanced with malt to the fore but this quickly changes to a bitter, spicy back with woody pine.
