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.

Cask (Crown Posada, Newcastle) - Golden with a white head. Lemon, tea and grassy hops in the aroma. Tea, lemon and lime in the taste. Not bad.

Had a bottle of this at a local movie theatre. Golden-bronze, taste is caramel accented but with a healthy dose of earthy hops, leaving an off-dry finish. Decent brew.

500ml bottle. Pours a clear copper-brown ruby-tinged dark amber colour, with a foam beige head leaving alittle lacing and aroma of malt, bready & nutty. Taste is malty with caramel, doughy notes plus some sweetness and light lingering bitterness. Smooth slighly creamy mouthfeel, light to medium bodied, soft to medium carbonation, dryish malty finish. Quite OK.

500ml bottle from Tusk Festival @ Star & Shadow, Newcastle. Pours a lovely murky dark brown with a gorgeously malty brown ale taste together with a slight sweetness & some caramel. Proper beer, as the label says.

Cask @ Diggers, Edinburgh [131013]
Golden blonde, clear, dense white head, good lacing
Aroma of soft fruits, light malt, faint nose
Taste of soft sweet fruits, light pale malts, some cereal, not much going on here but ok
Palate - light body, little oily. Finish as main flavour, bit dry, some light sweet fruits on tail
Overall - Standard golden ale, nothing exceptional here

Rating based upon my pint from cask at the Town Wall, Newcastle. Light golden colour, with a white head. Very nice, fresh, well hopped, citrus aroma (my colleague had this in bottled form at same location/time and dramatic comparative difference in aroma from a bottle from the cold of the fridge). Quite light body. Some bitterness to finish. Very drinkable.
