Description
Wold Top Brewery was founded in 2003 by arable farmers Tom and Gill Mellor. Based high on the Yorkshire Wolds where the hills roll down to the North Sea, ours is a family business that is run by the third and fourth generation Mellors and we pride ourselves on brewing superior quality beer from home grown barley and water that is gently filtered by the chalk of the Yorkshire Wolds and drawn from the farm's own borehole.

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Clear ruby, brief head. Aroma of cherries. Sweet and fizzy with medium body and clean crystal malt profile. Has the malt character of un unambitious American brewpub chain’s amber ale, but they usually cover it up by using aromatic hops. Here that is missing too. Finishes slightly metallic. A disappointment.

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Clear golden, average head. Aroma of vanilla and grass. Notes of peach. Medium sweet and medium bodied with clean mouthfeel. Fairly low bitterness. A straightforward lager like ale that fails to catch my interest.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 06. Gold colour with bubbly off white head. Hop and toffee aroma. Sweetish in mouth. Bit nothingy on the finish. Bit of smoke maybe on the end. Bit of apple and overall just a bit odd 2.8/3 Re-rate Cask gravity at Bricklayers Arms 2nd Annual Yorkshire BF 08. Some citrus orange on aroma. It’s a drinkable golden beer. Good condition.

Cask gravity dispense at Red Lion, Isleworth. Beer of the Beagle II Mars lander apparently. Chestnut colour with no head. Malty beer, but with good hop finish. A bit like Theakson XB used to be. Some dry malt on aroma, bit of coffee, but then flavours fade

A slightly hazy red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of berries and caramel. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of berries - especially cowberries, but also hints of acidity and wood, leading to a dry end.
