On cask (gravity dispense) at Chelmsford Beer Festival on 15 July 2011. This is an interesting development. The Compasses used to be the brewery tap for Ridleys brewery, one of the few remaining old-established country brewers (in an idyllic setting) until they sold out to Greene King and the brewery was closed. Now the pub is back under the ownership of a member of the Ridley family and there may be plans to install a brewery. In the meantime they are brewing at Felstar. Unfortunately this beer wasn’t really to my taste. A copper coloured best bitter with Crystal malt character prominent. Caramel, nutty notes and sweet fruit. Quite low on hops and not very bitter. Perfectly competent, just not really my type of beer.
