Beer of the Week
Wicklow Wolf 10th Anniversary American Amber
4.8% ABV, 440 ml can Bradleys
The Newtown Mount Kennedy Brewery has very good reason to get a little nostalgic about their American Amber, our latest
Beer of the Week. “It was the first beer we ever brewed and released back in 2014, and it seemed fitting to celebrate our 10th Birthday by bringing it back one last time in our original branding with a new and improved recipe.”I got my hands on it not long after the 2014 launch and wrote: “Your palate tells you this is very good: sweet caramel and tropical fruit tones, balanced by a tang of citrus hops. Mellow magic, made the Wicklow way.” Not a whole lot different from what the Wolf says about the current Amber.
It still has that golden/amber colour with a soft white head. Caramel, toffee and a whiff of citrus in the aromas. The recipe may well be refreshed but the perfect balance between malt and hops has been maintained.
Very enjoyable and Very Highly Recommended.
