Description
Wylam Brewery was set up in a disused dairy on a farm near Heddon on the Wall in May 2000 by John Boyle and Robin Leighton driven by their passion for real ale. The brewery grew rapidly on the strength of the quality of its ales, winning awards at festivals around the UK. They outgrew the original 1000L plant in 2006 and brought on-stream a new 3500L plant in August in a bespoke barn conversion. Since then they have enjoyed continued strong growth. In Summer 2016, the brewery moved to its current location at the same time expanding to a 30BBL plant.

440ml can. Murky orange with a white head. Aroma of ripe mango, grapefruit, orange. Taste of sweet malts, ripe mango, grapefruit, orange, slightly dank and herbal, a touch savoury, piney bitterness. Medium bodied. Excellent DIPA, a bit old school leaning but with the juiciness of a modern hazy DIPA.

Can from Slimey Simey. Thanks!
Strong dank IPA. Nice deep gold. Profound deepness to it but I did leave it until it's a few months OOD. Proabbly better when fresh.
