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.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Ha! Thought this was a HBC586 solo... Okay! Light smooth palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Light soft pale malts, a light ripe creamy sweetness, pretty modest fine carbonation. Light malts, a pretty light creamy sweetness. Mild green hop savoury vibe puts its arms around soft pine and light ripe juicy citrus. Orange and mellow grapefruit, a whisper of tropical fruits as well. Light and semi finish leaves a very mild hop spicy linger. Very tidy mellow dipa, could drink a few pints of this. Of course I could!

Cans from Cork & Cask and House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy pale golden body with a thin white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of lemon sponge cake, pine, tangerine and pastel de nata. Flavour of watermelon, creamy pineapple, lime and orange. Medium body with a smooth texture. Light fizz. I think Wylam brew the best hazy IPAs in the UK. The last few I’ve tried have a delicious watermelon vibe. They don’t release as many new beers as other breweries, but when they do, I always take note. This is fantastic and possibly the best IPA I’ve tried this year.
