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.

Pint of cask at the Outside Chance in Manton. I deep copper colour in the glass and a minimal head with some lacing. The beer was perfectly kept and truly showcased the light flavours that you would expect in this classic English IPA. There was a forward bitterness and excellent drinkability. It went very well with the burger and chips and ticked all the right boxes. You could drink a lot of this and thoroughly enjoy yourself.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol March 2018. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. A sweet beer, with plenty of Wadworth's house yeast character, a hint of citrus fruits, ripe malts and a moderately bitter finish. Ok.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Deep gold with a thick off-white head and a light fizz. Floral notes with a mild but slightly tinny bitterness. A nothing beer. Not one of Waddy's finer moments.

Third of a pint in my local Wetherspoon pub on 17th March 2018. Lager like in it's golden appearance, white head too. Light citrus leanings in both the nose and taste, not really my thing. Scored objectively.

Clear deep golden colour, tall frothy white to off-white head, good retention, heavy lacing. Aroma toasted malts, toffee, orange, tangerine, yeast, grass. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, light fruity, hop resin. Malty bittersweet aftertaste, resinous, dusty, earthy, spicy notes. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation, not an IPA imo but an amber ale and a sturdy one.
