Beer Review: Flying Dog Woody Creek White

Poured into a Belgian style tasting glass.

Appearance- Hazy yellow with quickly fading white head. Light lacing.

Smell- Spicy yeast and corriander. A bit funky.

Taste- Sweet like bubblegum upfront, malt and corriander follows, clove, and a hint of lemon.

Mouthfeel- Light and refreshing, a bit sharp. Plenty of carbonation.

Drinkability- This is one of the smoothest Flying Dog beers I have ever had. I could have this on a hot summer day and it would be a toss up next to Hoegaarden. A fine wit.

And now.. Send in the clones.

Hoegaarden Wit Clone

SG 1.046 (calculated using ProMash)
IBU 18.0 (calculated using ProMash)

MALT
3.30 lbs. Light liquid malt extract
2.00 lbs. Dry wheat malt extract
0.50 lbs. Cracked unmalted wheat
0.50 lbs. Rolled (flaked) oats

HOPS (pellet)
0.5oz Saaz (60 minutes in boil)
0.7oz E.K. Goldings (60 minutes in boil)
0.5oz Saaz (15 minutes in boil)

OTHER
1.25 tsp. (0.1oz) Coriander seeds (15 mminutes in boil)
2.00 tsp. (0.1oz) Dried BITTER Orange (15 minutes in boil)

Steep whole grains in 1/2 gallon water @ 155F for 30 minutes. Rinse with 1 or 2 pints of 170F water. Remove grains, add 2.0 gal water & extract, start 60 minute boil. Add hops and other ingredients as specified.

White Labs Belgian Wit Ale Yeast (WLP400)

Notes: Adding 2 oz of lactic acid may give an even more authentic Hoegaarden taste. I thought it may need a slight boost in the coriander and bitter orange as well; maybe even double the quantity of each??? But maybe that's too much.
