Woody Creek White

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Woody Creek White

• Brewery: Flying Dog Brewing (Maryland)

• Style: Belgian White/Wit

• ABV: 4.8%

• IBU: 17

• Pour Color: A very cloudy light yellow to white color. 

      On pour this one was very murky. Light traveled through but not much else. The head was nice big and fluffy. It would last most of the glass. The scent off the glass was very yeasty and wheaty. The taste is a nice and spicy with a wheat backing. The coriander is very clean and easy to pick out. Theres also a mix of orange and lemon tastes that compliment this one well. A well done Belgian style beer. 
      Don't see many unfiltered wheat beers for summer. Then again you don't see a lot of what flying dog does being done by others. The bottles are always a great way of getting a friend into these. Art that really sells there brand. This one though has the character inside to sell. Well done and delicious this is a great beer for summer too!

Witte

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name:Witte

• Brewery: Ommegang (Cooperstown, New York)

• Style: Belgian White

• ABV: 5.1%

• IBU: 11

• Pour Color: An extremely light cloudy white

      

      The Face had three different Ommegang flavors at his store for a tasting (Rare vos, Hennepin). Out of the three this one is third and still really great. A nice foamy head quickly dissipates and leaves the beer behind. A clove scent hits you and mixes well with the orange blossom in the taste. A really really light beer the summer witte really is a great beer year round!
      Ommegang really isn't that far from me and the Face in upstate, NY.  They really are doing something different then most breweries in America with Belgian style beers. In a world of craft IPA's, this company really gives you a good change of pace with interesting styles and flavors.
