Worthington's Creamflow

Tap to rate

Worthington's Creamflow is the smooth keg bitter of a Burton brand that goes back to the brewery William Worthington founded there in 1761. The texture is markedly creamy. Malt leads the flavour: buttered malt loaf, malted milk and nutty toffee, with a roasted edge. Fruit runs alongside, from banana to mixed fruits and a touch of orange marmalade, and there are liquorice notes and a citrus hop accent in the aroma. It is poured on draught in pubs and clubs.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Worthington's Creamflow

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to copper hue, characteristic of the Best Bitter style and the 12 SRM specification. The beer presents with good clarity and a persistent cream-colored head that clings to the glass, supported by the keg carbonation system. Lacing adheres evenly down the sides as the drink progresses.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with warm, buttered malted notes—reminiscent of malted milk and toasted grain. A subtle citrus hop accent and liquorice undertones emerge alongside stone fruit esters, suggesting banana and a whisper of orange marmalade. The overall impression is balanced between malt-forward character and restrained hop aromatic complexity.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, driven by nutty toffee and roasted malt flavors with a slight grainy sweetness. Mid-palate develops mixed fruit notes—dried stone fruits and orange preserve—layered beneath the malt backbone. The moderate 28 IBU bitterness arrives as a clean, citrusy hop bite that finishes without harshness, maintaining balance throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length with a pleasant drying character from the hops. A lingering sweetness of malted grain and subtle toffee notes persist in the aftertaste, never becoming cloying.
