Wicklow Wolf 0.5

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with bright clarity and lively carbonation. A modest white head forms and settles into a thin collar with fair retention and lacing. The beer presents a clean, inviting visual profile typical of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with juicy citrus character—grapefruit and tangerine notes from the Citra and Idaho 7 hops. Subtle stone fruit undertones emerge beneath, while pale malt provides a clean, biscuity foundation. The overall impression is fresh and approachable, with restrained hop intensity befitting the low IBU count.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and light-bodied, with moderate sweetness from pale and caramel malts. The mid-palate shows bright citrus flavors balanced against soft biscuit notes, while low bitterness—at 20 IBU—allows fruit character to lead without harshness. Oats contribute a subtle silky texture to the development.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and fruity, with citrus notes fading into a dry, refreshing aftertaste. Minimal residual sweetness lingers, making this easy to drink despite its alcohol-free status.
