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.

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.

A hazy red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of berries, while the flavor besides the notes of berries also has notes of wood on a sweet background, and with a dry end.
