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.

Bottle shared in High Wycombe - thanks to WingMane. Pours clear orange with a creamy, white head. Tangy orange in the nose, some woody notes, pale grains. Light sweet flavour with notes of leaves, citric hops, more wood, damp hay. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more citric hops, lightly toasted grains. So so.

Bottle split at Islo tasting, thanks to Wingman, 04/10/16 #gusher alert. Rich black with a decent tan cap. Nose is soapy, chocolate, spice, toffee, dark fruits. Taste comprises fruit cake, cocoa powder, dates, spice, fruit rinds. Medium bodied, lively carbonation, semi drying close with a slightly lactic tang. A touch infected? Not one I’d bother with again.
