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.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Slightly hazy golden with a rough white head. Malty, lightly flowery nose. Medium body, lightly sweet malts, again flower notes and a dry finish. I didnt really expect much from a British take on a Bohemian pilsener, but this is actually very decent. 221108

Bottle, 4.6%. Slightly bready aroma. Hazy golden colour, very small white head. The flavour starts off with OK maltiness. Has a little bread and clean citrus aftertaste.

From cask at Three Judges. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Light fruity hops aroma. Flavour is mild spiced yet also quite fresh fruity hoppy. Light roasted caramel malt base, but quite subdued to the hops.

Bottle that I picked up from the Dodgy Deli, Cowley Rd, Oxford Nov 2008. This is a fairly tasty amber coloured beer. Some sweet caramel and fruitiness and a slightly earthy bitterness to finish things off, likeable.

Cask, South Causey Inn, Stanley, Co Durham. Will the real Ali G please step forward please ...Aiiiiiight !! Hazy golden colour with a thin white head. Some staleish citrus in the aroma, but not leaping up the nostrils. Flavour was malty, caramel, with the hops a bit muffled. Drinkable but drab. Not bling.

Cask, South Causey Inn, Stanley, Co Durham. Golden colour with a minimal head. Fragrant, slightly fruity aroma. Flavour malty and slightly sweet, with vague bitterness in the finish. Hugely average and dull like the loud conversation being played out at the bar while I was supping this.
