Wolf Ale
Wolf Brewery Ltd.

Tasted by half-pint at arguably Chelmsford's best pub, the Queen's Head, on 12/07/2006 during the afternoon interval of the Chelmsford Beer Festival.

A: very clear and bright, pale copperish colour, coming with a thin beer head with surprisingly good retention; low carbonation.
S: nutty and berry-fruity aroma to start with, quite balanced, backed by caramely hints of malts, a syrupy edge, and an enticing flowery scent of hops in the background. Semi-rich.
T: a hayish flavour leads, as well as lightly sour-sweet maltiness with a nutty kick... gradually tea-leafy bitter hops develop at the back and linger well, but not quite intense in any sense, leaving plenty of chewy+tangy hoppyness in the finish.
M&D: softly carbonated on the mouthfeel, against an overall reasonably light body for a Bitter. The lingering hop-bitter edge registers itself as a quaffalbe session bitter. A very decent offer from the brilliant micro-brewery!!
