Welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists.
Today as part of our into the mild segment John is checking out a classic mild by Rudgate. Unlike the Oak aged version mark looked at this one promises the same full flavour but with a lower ABV
- Name: Ruby Mild
- Brewery: Rudgate
- Hops : N/A
- Grain : Malted barley
- Aroma: Strong malty Aroma, with a hint of Smokey molasses.
- Appearance: Deep red in colour, with a medium off white head when poured.
- Body: Smooth, Medium Bodied, good carbonation, decent head retention
- Taste: The Smokey notes come through with a vague malted chocolate like accompaniment, easy drinking, but with plenty of warmth.
This one is a prime example of a good old school traditional mild, low ABV, middle flavour pallet, and easy drinking. It’s the sort of pint I would have had a few of on a lunch break before heading back to my tools & the forge!
Very obvious why Rudgate has won so many awards over the years for its mild, it get a big thumbs up from me!
