Description
Brewed in Silchester and drawing inspiration from new world hops, Germany’s malts and beer styles from across the globe, we vow to make your drinking experience as enjoyable as our brewing.

The Brewery was taken over in early 2022. The new owner then bought Boss Brewing Company in Swansea. Boss went into liquidation, but restarted, and in 2023 Wild Weather closed the Silchester site and relocated to join Boss in Swansea.

On cask @ the Haymarket. Appearance - golden with a light haze and a decent head. Nose - herbs and citrus. Taste - lemon and generally loads of plant stalk and general greenery. Palate - light bodied with a creamy yet dry middle section and a long dry bitter finish. Overall - again, a little too bitter for the light body to stand up to.

Hazy amber beer, tidy cream colour head. Smooth airy palate, decent fine carbonation. Malts bring mild tangy caramel and very thin cream. Nice rich orange and orange peel followed by jammy tangerine and touches of lemon and spice. Light semi dry finish. The jammy peely hop blend well with the caramel malts. Very drinkable and hides the abv well.

Cask at The Lyric, Soho. It pours hazy golden - orange with a decent white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, fruity, apricot, tangerine, papaya and marmalade. The taste is really rather bitter upfront and lingers, plenty of pithy citrus fruits, papaya, guava, peppery spice, straw and grass with a dry, bitter finish. Light body and soft carbonation. Packs a punch for the abv. Reminiscent of something Steel City or Hopcraft would do.

Cask @ Barum Top Inn, Halifax. Golden with a creamy head. Has an acute bubble-gum sweetened tropical fruitiness in its taste, that lingers in the palate. There’s a bitterness too, and a sugary-malty nose.
