Description
Brewer of real ales, with over 150 pubs across the South of England. The original Northgate Brewery had been in existence since at least 1837. Henry Wadworth bought the company in 1875, moving to the present purpose built Northgate Brewery building in 1885. John Smith Bartholomew, Wadworth's son-in-law, became a partner in 1887, and it has been owned by the Bartholomew family ever since. In 2016 Wadworth brewery completed an ambitious 4 years investment plan to move all aspects of the brewery onto one location.

6th DRG. Clear golden color. Bit fruity, aroma, dusty, sweetish. Smells like furniture. Taste is a bit brackish, bitter, ’wurzig’.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A pale orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is quite light with notes of sulphur and fruity esters. The flavor is sweet malty combined with an OK hop presence, but leading to a dry metallic end. The metallic note is a drawback.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very goodlooking beer somewhere in between red and amber with a small, creamy head. Very soft and pleasant - pretty much without bitterness. A bit sweet - probably from the added 3% cane sugar. 310803

(Bottle 50 cl) Reddish brown with a warm orangey glow and a huge, deliciously creamy head. Complex, malty beer with the flavours almost queuing up to impress my taste buds. This is almost like a dry Sherry with a nutty character and only a discreet bitterness and a hint of sweetness. Very sophisticated, vinous brew. A real sipping beer. Yummy. 130401

Bottle: Amber coloured, thin off-white fluffy head, lasting; malty nose with a tinge of bitterness and some fruity notes; light bitter flavour; soapy (or cheesy, caused by rotten hops ?) bitterness in the finish; rather unpleasant and disappointing.....................

Bottle from Sainsburys. Badged as Wadworth Bishop’s Tipple. Thin white head. Sweetish fruit but underlying yeast, acids and earthy hops. Slightly full but acidic in mouth some apple fruit and then tangy hop finish with more earthy hops. Hot alcohol burn. Not much for me to recommend this

Tap
Amber, low head. Hint roastyness on the aroma. Slight fruityness - a hint hops. Overall quite watery and boring.

Cask at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Golden, quite hoppy with citrus but then reduces to sweaty socks aroma. Bit of lemon and then nothing much rather disliked it by the end

Bottled. Copper coloured with white foamy head. Caramellish malty nose along with hops. Hoppy flavour along with a bit caramelly hints. Quite dry and a bit sticky palate.
