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.

Keg at BrewDog Leicester. Oh goody an IPA! Hazy mid-gold, almost no head. Aroma of... chocolate? Oh dear. But it's not inherently bad. Just odd. Jarring taste of chocolate and rose notes (Turkish delight?) with bitter hops in the finish. Very bitter finish with an oyster flat mouthfeel. OK, not terrible, but doesn't really do it for me. I guess one has to try these things.
