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.

Clear golden beer, thin head. Basically bugger all aroma but for touch or citrus. Sweet citrus, malt and a bit of hop in the taste. Fantastically bland but alright.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at Swindon Beer Festival 26/10/2017. Copper in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Leafy hops, a hint of spice, sweet, golden syrup, notes, with some biscuity malts, before a suggestion of the house yeast character and moderately bitter finish. A good beer.

Handpull cask at the Old Horse, Leicester. Orange/tan, clear, with a small compact off-white head. Butterscotch and hazelnut aroma. Pleasant but a touch artificial. Bittersweet biscuity taste with harsher hop flavour at the end. It's nicely balanced and has a pleasant silky palate. Not perfect but enjoyable enough.
