Description
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.

Very nice artistic tin. Pours with an initially massive head of 5cm but settles to a persistent 2cm quickly. Looks like a typical juicy. Nice fresh nose: floral, minty, peach, mango. Mouth doesn't match the promising nose however. Carbonation kind of covers everything up. Actually has fair body but hard to classify. Some exotics and mango come through, some spearmint on second tasting. Then herbal, pine. Had to tease out the favours but quite good. Would be a great session beer.

In the glass a nice juicy yellow with intense white clouding. Head with medium dissipation. Intense nose tropical, mango, passion fruit, pineapple, a touch of pear drop / lemon drop sweets. Nice palate and mouthfeel: all of the above with some citrus, grapefruit thrown in for good measure. Nice and well balanced: long lingering taste but not too bitter. Very nice.

On tap at Bryggerifestivalen. Vintage 2023. It's a black one, with a dense finger-thick tan head leaving lacing. The aroma is roasted and lightly burnt, with some licorice, dark dried fruit and alcohol. It's full-bodied and lightly warming, nicely carbonated and with a gentle bitterness. Roasted malts run the show in the flavor too, with some dark chocolate and coffee, licoice, prune and alcohol. Some booze too. Lasting finish with a bit too much alcohol warmth. Delicious. 120802

On tap at Bryggerifestivalen. It's a clear one, yellow-golden in color and topped by a dense, finger-thick white head. Grains and a light fruityness in the aroma. Pine cones, pear and grass, with a hint of hay. It's medium bodied and nicely carbonated, soft and with a gentle bitterness. Light flavor with pale malts in the back, and fruity hops up front. As in the aroma, some hay blends in. Lightly biscuity towards the finish. A decent one. 240802

On tap at Bryggerifestivalen. It's an unclear golden-orange colored beer with a nice-looking finger-thick off-white head. Gentle fruity aroma with pine cones, grapefruit and a light maltyness. It's medium bodied and nicely carbonated, with a pleasant but gentle bitterness. Pale malts in the back of the flavor, some bready hints, with grapefruit and pine cones up front. Medium length finish. A refreshing one for sure. 240802

0,44 boks fra Statens postordrekatalog (hva skulle vi vel gjort uten den?), hjemme: uklar oransjegylden med noen floaties og et fint skum som varer. Solid maltkropp sørger for at alle de gode inntrykkene av citrus, appelsinmarmelade, granskudd/furunål og aprikos holder sammen. Mild bitterhet i den saftige avslutningen. Bør på listen til neste bestilling.

0,44 boks postordrekatalogen, hjemme: uklar gylden med fint skum som varer. Søte og snille tropiske frukter (særlig ananas og mango) og ditto citrus. Svært mild bitterhet med litt furunål/granskudd og appelsinmarmelade i den ganske slanke avslutningen, og uten at det blir for søtt. Et velsmakende følge til DR Symfoniorkesters fremførelse av Nielsens femte. Livet er s'gu dejligt.

Gul tåkete med hvitt skum. Lukter ananas, klementinskall og stenfrukt. Middels fylde og bitterhet. Smaker ananas, sitrusskall, gress og noe havre. Middels lang.
