White Bark Ale
Driftwood Brewery

 

 

 

 

 

I am usually a dark beer guy, but in the hot days of summer I enjoy a lighter beer. At first glance this beer looks very pale and cloudy. Hallmarks of a good witbier. I have it on tap in "the cave" . It pours nicely with 1 to 2 fingers of head, nicley laced. The citrus is pronounced yet not overpowering. The coriander adds a distinctive spice. Great flavor without lingering too long on the palate. At first I thought there should be more carbonation, but now feel it isn't needed. Overall, a good, thirstquenching summer beer. Pairs beautifully with seafood, try it with lemon-pepper pork too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

5/23/17,..pours cloudy pale gold with very low foam. Strong wheaty smell. Yeasts. Ever so slight citrus. Smooth milk creamy taste with a back end lemon citrus. Fast finish, light bite to close. Good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not a fan of NA brewed Belgian styles, but DAMN! That's a fantastic witbier. The typical flavours of orange, banana, sweet bread and coriander but with a slight lemon tartness. Creamy mouthfeel but still effervescent. Awesome!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bottle: Poured a hazy blonde color ale with a nice large foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of coriander and wheat malt are pretty dominant. Taste is also heavy on the coriander notes with some great wheat malt notes and light residual sugar notes. Body is pretty full with good carbonation. Pretty enjoyable with nice dose of coriander but carbonation could be slightly more pronounced.

Light brilliant golden lemonade color with a touch of haze. Low white head, slightly sticky. Creamy rich taste of cream and wheat with medium light malt. Smoothe rich and delicate with florals of cherry blossom and finishes flavorful with sweet orange and lemonade notes. Tingly tangy epravescant finish with a bread yeastiness and a very slight touch of warm spice. Yeast notes finish long with little to no sweetness or bittering aftertaste lingering. This is a great example of a belgian style wheat beer. It reminds me of some of my favorites that are so hard to find in North America: Vedett White, Brugs. They them if you can if you like white bark and compare for yourself.
