Strawberry Wit

The Beer Stats:
  • Beer Name: Strawberry Wit
  • Brewery: Ass Kisser Brewing Company
  • Style: Ass Kissers Beverage Co. (California)
  • ABV: 5.8%
  • IBU: ?
  • Pour Color: Golden and hazy really a good looking beer! 




      The head disappeared quick and lacing didn't really happen going down. The scent off the top was strawberry and lemon. The color was gold and hazy even though the light passed thru easy. The taste was malty at first. The malts were forward until swallow. Swallowing led to the mix of the strawberry/lemon that was promised in the scent. All and all a great fruit beer that doesn't just lean on the fruit to hard.
      The fruit of this beer is what makes it good to me. It's mellow enough to call this a beer with fruit instead of a fruitbeer. The malts are the star with a strong wheat flavor until the swallow. Once you swallow you get a nice mix of hops strawberry and lemon zest that really makes it refreshing. This is the type of fruit beer that this mustache likes to swim in instead of has to swim in!

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!
