Light craft beer

Tasting Notes: 

Blue Moon® Belgian White* was our first year-round release back in 1995. It started with our brewmaster, Keith Villa, wanting to craft a beer inspired by the flavorful Belgian

Tasting Notes: He brewed his interpretation using Valencia orange peel versus the traditional tart Curaçao orange peel, for a subtle sweetness, and added a touch of coriander to provide balance. Then he added oats and wheat to create a smooth, creamy finish that’s inviting to the palate. As a final touch, he garnished the beer with an orange slice to heighten the citrus aroma and taste. Its natural unfiltered appearance adds to the depth of flavors in Belgian White

The main staple session ale, our IPA is an easy drinking all-round ale and is ideal for any pub’s session drinkers. It is light copper coloured with delicate malt aromas, cereal notes and a lingering finish.

Tasting Notes: This is a traditionally crafted India Pale Ale with a malt-led flavour and character. On the nose, our IPA provides a delightful malt aroma. On the palate it delivers clean and refreshing light malt notes combined with the classic strong hop flavour, and finishes with a crisp bitterness.

6X is our iconic ale, brewed for over 90 years with a national following of drinkers always seeking it out; it’s a beacon on the bar for many ale drinkers. 6X is the classic premium ale that has made Wadworth famous.

Tasting Notes: This hand crafted ale is a timeless amber-hued beer distinctively full bodied and eminently drinkable. The nose is malty and fruity with a balancing hoppy note. The delicious malt and fruit character emerge even more intensely on the palate with a long lingering malty finish.

This golden brown beer, named after Henry Wadworth, has a good balance of flavour and a long lasting aftertaste, becoming biscuity. A good session beer.

Tasting Notes: Crisp, Biscuity
