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.

Strong hazy IPA by one of countless new craft breweries emerging in Ireland, enjoyed on New Year’s Eve. Snow white, medium thick, stable but eventually opening head, lacing in dots over a misty amberish-hued orange blonde beer. Tropical, citrusy and somewhat dank aroma of orange zest, cantaloupe, dry biscuit, mango juice, lychee, frying hot olive oil, pink grapefruit flesh, wet marihuana. Clean, sweetish onset, melon, some mango and lychee with slight orange peel bitterness, fizzy carbonation, smooth and oily body; nicely biscuity malt base, crackers, under a resinous, highly citrus-charged hoppiness, almost as grapefruity as a West Coast IPA for a moment – but then shifting to the subtropical fruitiness (mango, lychee, persimmon even) we all know and love from the New England idiom. The hops offer citrus pith bitterness in the end and in spite of some retronasal dankness, remain clean and focused. Typical postmodern ‘international’ IPA, drawing from the West Coast substyle as announced by the brewer, but equally (or perhaps more) so from the New England idiom. Perhaps best interpreted as a ‘mountain IPA’ if you look at it that way, but whatever it is, it is a damn fine IPA that will please many a craft beer afficionado.
