Wicklow Wolf Mammoth IPA 6.2% ABV, 440 ml can
Beer of the Week!
the big, bad wolf of West Coast IPAs.
The Mammoth, big and bad, is one of the Alpha pack, the core range of Wicklow Wolf beers.
The colour is close to amber and clear, and it has a nice fluffy head that sinks quite slowly. It gets its name because "a mammoth amount" of Strata, Simcoe, Chinook, Cascade, and Eureka has been used to pump up the fruit.
And the hops take the lead in the aromas as well. Very much floral and citrus on the palate, as you’d expect, but no shortage of malt either (Pale ,Cara Ruby, the varieties used). Rather a muscular beer, but the muscle’s not out of control, and the Mammoth will find a welcome in any good beer circle.
And, take note, all you hop heads, the IBU is a stiff 60. Serve at 8 degrees.
Very Highly Recommended.
