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.

Tap at Hoppy Ending. Hazy orangeish golden pour, white head. Nose and taste are low bitterness and big fat tropical fruity notes, so your usual NE I/A PA really. Light creamy body, soft carbonation, pretty easy drink. Undoubtedly well done and all but way too one dimensional for me.

Bottle. Dark brown almost black body with a big, thin foamy beige head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate and nutty. Flavor is sweet dark malt, chocolate, coffee and moderate bitterness. Fin body and long lasting, sweet aftertaste with coffee and chocolate. Another not very complex but really nice beer that mainly tastes of coffee and chocolate.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, tidy bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, light and mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a soft airy and pleasant creamy sweetness, nicely pitched. Superdelic, the hop with the naff name but wonderful flavour, kicks off with light bright lemony citrus that offsets the candy fruits elements of this hop rather well. A slight tartness on the back end. Mild berries. El Dorado and Citra largely lost here. Airy light and semi dry finish brings a decent hop spice nibble and leaves a complex and almost sherbetty fruit array on the back end. Lovely beer, lovely hop. Look, what about you rename it Superdelic to Chameleon? Better fit, better name. You can have that on me, I categorically claim no rights to that idea/name and never expect to make a penny out of that suggestion!
