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.

On tap at Mother Mac's Public House. Mostly clear deep gold in color with a good sized sexy white head that persists. Bready crackery malt light fruit and floral spicy hops. Pretty nice beer.

Can thanks to Steve. It pours deep brown with a small off-white head. The aroma is sweet, toothy, coffee grounds, dark fruits, toasted nut, raisin and fruit cake. The taste is bitter - sweet, earthy roast, toasty, sticky, brown bread, smooth, coffee grounds, twist of citrus and some peppery spice. Light body and fine carbonation. Perhaps could be done with a bit more carbonation. Plenty of flavour for the abv. Fun stuff.

33cl can purchased at the Centra in Kenmare, County Kerry, Ireland. BB 04032020. The pour is a slight haze golden orange with a small white head. The aroma is cereal grain with a bit of straw and floral. The taste is the grass, straw, hint of lemon citrus and the cereal grain malt carrying the finish. The palate is medium bodied with softer carbonation and the clean malt finish. Solid.

Draught, 4.8% at the Black Sheep. Good fruity aroma. Almost clear dark golden colour. Stable white head. The flavour is papery at first, fruity. Turns earthy. Tastes a bit of old books.

I have a soft spot for Wicklow, but this is underwhelming. Definite sorachi, mild caramel and toffee notes

From bottle to glass at the Saddle Room in Dublin. Garnet and clear with moderate off-white head. Lots of crystal malt with the hops not showing. Maybe the bottle was old, but just not that great.

On draft in Dublin. Beautiful clear gold with white head. Aroma was standard and moderate hops. Breaks down on the flavor. Hard to drink, but started nicely!
