Take A Walk Wit
Yellow Dog Brewing

Someone should have said this was an unfiltered witbier with enough yeast on the bottom to ruin the whole brew. That's why bottled beers are best for unfiltered beers. Could've been great, but I poured it hastily after bringing it home, with no time to let the yeast settle. Very strong on the coriander. That's the only note I got other than yeast.

 

 

 

473ml can - more canine-themed naming, I see. Maybe I should take that advice, it's a nice day outside right now.

This beer pours a hazy, yet bright medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some thickly splattered and vein-like lace around the glass as it quickly dissipates.

It smells of cereal-forward wheat malt, a subtle earthy yeastiness, clove/coriander spice, ethereal citrusy notes, and very tame leafy, floral, and weedy green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, a lesser wheaten profile, sugary coriander, muddled domestic citrus rind, a wispy yeastiness, some free-range cotton candy sweetness, and more rather understated floral, leafy, and musty verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is fairly mild in its plain-Jane frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really caring to cause much of a concern here, it would seem. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt and muffled fruitiness carrying the lingering day.

Overall, this is a pleasant enough witbier, the typical adjuncts being applied in a reserved and judicious manner. Easy to drink, and refreshing, as long as you're ok with a sturdy sweetness that only tapers off near the end. Worthy of a try, especially on the warm and sunny summer day to which I referred earlier.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good wheat-malt flavours, a little on the sweet side. Great clove / spice aroma, nice fruity/citrusy notes. Super refreshing and easy drinking, another fantastic summer beer or anytime of the year!
