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.

Keg at The Antelope, Godalming. Opaque cola brown. Foamy tan head. Aroma has coffee with a vanilla edge. Flavourwise it's sour with some bitterness. Then a sweetness appears into the finish. Medium bodied. Creamy. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Noice.

Keg at The Antelope, Godalming. Hazy-opaque amber. Thin foamy white head. Aroma is floral and resinous. Flavourwise it has a sugary sweetness over resinous bitterness. Underlying chewy malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Yeah.

Очень достойная дабл ипа, все в балансе, есть нотки леса и травки свежей, немного цедры. Хорошо.

440ml can. Hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of orange, grapefruit, grape, mildly vinous. Taste of orange and grapefruit, grapes, light white wine, gooseberry, just a hint of Wylam usual dankness and subtle savoury note, light-moderate bitter finish. Medium bodied. Great pale.
