Description
Wild Card Brewery was founded in 2012 at the Ravenswood Industrial Estate Walthamstow.

We brewed Mon-Fri and come the weekend, we would open the brewery doors and serve up our beers. With support from the local community our shed became one of Walthamstow's best loved bars, hosting beer festivals, tap takeovers and live music.

Meanwhile, in the brewery, Jaega was working away, tweaking old recipes and coming up with new ones. By 2017 she had 2 award winning beers under her belt and was struggling to make enough beer to keep up with demand - we were going to need a bigger brewery. So in 2017, we started a crowdfunding campaign to help us move the brewery to a bigger site.

In 2018 the brewery moved over to Lockwood Way, where we have doubled capacity - which means lots of Wild Card beer for all.

Wild Card Brewery now has two tap rooms in Walthamstow, and our beer is available in pubs, bars, restaurants and supermarkets across the UK.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a black colour, small foamy tan brown head that doesn’t last long. Sweet chocolatey, malty, roasted/burnt coffee aroma. Taste is quite strong on roasted chocolatey malts. Some bitterness to the finish but it’s short lasting, the nice chocolatey aftertaste hangs around longer.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours cloudy orange colour, no head at all. Aroma is citric, sweet orange. Taste is like that of a standard lager, malts, with added tangy orange. Surprisingly little citric bitterness though. Nice and drinkable.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe (bottle labeled as "an India Pale Ale"). Pours a hazy golden orange colour, medium sized frothy off-white head shrinking down to small. Aroma is very citric, tangy orange, with some spices, small amount of wheat. Taste is exactly the same, orange and herbs on the palate, citric bitterness in the aftertaste. Nice beer.

Dorada turbia, escasa espuma. Aroma lupulado, frutal con notas herbales, menta. En boca tiene paso fácil, muy bebible, con poco cuerpo y buen punto de gas. El sabor es muy agradable y equilibrado. Malteado y frutal, con notas de albaricoque. Muy buena. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours dark brown with a thin beige head. Aromas of toffee, faint burnt toast, something creamy, light cocoa. Taste is more burnt toffee, quite sweet up front, some roast bitterness and faint cocoa. Not bad, slightly thin on the finish maybe, then some wood notes at the end.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - creamy and eluding to chocolate. Taste - definitely creamy chocolate. Light sweet viscous note at the end with hazelnuts too. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Maybe a bit thin. Overall - best so far today.

330ml bottle: BBE Oct 15. Poured into a La Chouffe badged tulip at home on 21st Aug 15. Cheers to my son for this. Slight haze to the light golden body, on top a white crown being constantly replenished by carbonation bubbles rising up from the bottom of the glass. Mild citrus nose (might have over chilled it) but the citrus flavours are heavy in the taste with those citra hops working well. I am not a big fan of citrus flavoured golden blonds but this seemed OK and refreshing, one bottle was enough though.
