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.

April 2008 Light but tepid. Very slighty bitter - watery hops. Too lightweight.

Cask at GBBF 2009. Yep, another one of those obvious British beers, I’ve not rated. Deep brown colour, lasting cream head. Distinctive Wadworth yeast aroma. Yeast carries on throughout. Some toffee. Faint hop on finish. Great condition and mostly about the yeast character in this bitter.

Bottled. An amber beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma has notes of caramel and nuts. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a lightly bitter finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Cask (Isambard Kingdom Brunel JDW, Portsmouth) - Gold/amber in colour with a white head. Slightly hoppy aroma with hints of grapefruit. Biscuity malt and hops feature in the taste, which is slightly sterile. Notes of grapefruit are noticeable. A bland and not on its best form, I’m sure.

on tap at the Kilverts in Hay-on-Wye, which is in Wales but has a Hereford postcode. Amber colour with a small head. Smooth carbonation. Very malty with a lovely fruity character. Pleasantly fruity with flavours that remind of ripe apples and aged dry cider. Delicious.
