Woody Creek White


Flying Dog

Woody Creek Belgian White - 4.8% ABV

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.0

"Woody Creek is light and refreshing for a reason, so be careful not to overpower it with heavy foods. Flavor notes: Refreshing and light citrus notes with subtle wheat, coriander, and orange flavorsPairs with: Light cheeses; Asian foods with wasabi and ginger; light shellfish; fruity desserts"

Another brew from Flying Dog. This is their summer seasonal so it'll be gone soon to make way for their fall seasonal. This one pours with a golden yellow color and a slight head, but rather active carbonation. It has aromas of wheat and yeast off the bat with aromas of clove, banana, lemon and orange peel, and some coriander. Rather typical of a Belgian Wheat I think. You taste the wheat and citrus right off the bat. The citrus and wheat flavors linger and give to the clove, coriander, and a slight floral taste I think. This one is very crisp and refreshing and a good representation of Belgian Wheat beers. You could easily have a few outside at a BBQ.
