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.

Can from De Bierliefhebber. Aroma is fruity hops with plenty of oniony dankness, tropical fruits, citrus, mango, some pine, grapefruit. Flavour moderate sweet and medium bitter with a little hop burn. Body is medium. Highly juicy and fruity, one of the highlights in this series.

Can from De Bierliefhebber. Aroma is fruity and floral with lots of orange peel and flowers, more orange, perfume, potpourri, and jasmine tea. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Body is medium. Nice fruity orange, but I find the flower perfume way too much for my taste.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is roasted malt with cocoa, chocolate syrup, caramel, mocha, coffee, lightly tobacco, some liquorice, toffee, and a little burnt sugar. Flavour is sweet with a moderate roasty bitterness. Body is full. Sweet with a lot going on, not the dynamite I expected, but good.

Аромат сильный, и при этом интересный, сначала много пыльцы цветов и меда в придачу, также есть мультифруктовые ноты, типо ананасов, манго апельсин. Цвет желто яркий, пенка хорошая, белая, стойкая. Вкус тоже мощный, с харакетром. Снова пыльца, мед, корочка цитрусовая, и немного сладких тропиков на отдалении. При глотке небольшая горчинка. В целом очень мощно и круто, самую малость алкоголя ощущается.

Аромат очень фруктовый, свежие ананасы и манго, прямо как на завтрак в отеле Оверлок. Цвет очень мутный, туманно желтый с хорошей постоянной белой пеной словно ночной снег в лабиринте. Вкус по началу классической апы, фруктовый даже слегка водянистый, не сильная и сбалансированная горечь, но Джонни незаметно подкрался именно в послевкусие.Сразу после глотка как взрыв появляется сильная дымчатость, правда которая также быстро и пропадает, добавляя привычную фруктовость. В целом необычная но весьма приятная апа. God, I'd give anything for a drink. I'd give my goddamned soul for just a glass of beer - Jack Torrance.
