Wicklow Wolf was established in late 2014 after the meeting of two likeminded friends with a common interest in good beer. Quincey Fennelly and Simon Lynch both fell in love with craft beer while living in California for many years. Setting up a brewery together was always inevitable.

Bière bue a la pression au Hopi. Versée dans le verre, elle affiche un joli jaune juteux voilé d’un trouble blanc intense. La mousse tient correctement. Au nez, belle explosion tropicale : mangue, fruit de la passion, ananas, avec en arrière-plan une touche de bonbon poire/citron. En bouche, on retrouve ce bouquet exotique enrichi d’agrumes, une pointe de pamplemousse. L’ensemble est bien équilibré, la longueur est nette, persistante, mais sans excès d’amertume. Une NEIPA vraiment agréable.
