Twa Dogs Silver Flood Belgian Wit
Twa Dogs Brewing

650ml bottle - it's a couple days after Burns Night this year, but s'all good!

This beer pours a clear, pale golden straw colour, with three chubby fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat fizzy bone-white head, which leaves some random splotchy and splattered lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.

It smells of bready and biscuity pale malt, a lesser crackery wheatiness, subtle old-school yeast, some clove and black pepper spice, banana bubblegum, and very tame earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, wet wheat flour, some plain Belgian yeastiness, muddled earthy spice, fading underripe banana, and more understated herbal, leafy, and floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its structurally supportive frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of an average time here. It finishes off-dry, all grainy and crackery and yeasty.

Overall - for this particular brewery, Silver Flood comes across as one of their better offerings, at least style-wise. Sort of refreshing, and easy enough to drink on a cold and snowy winter evening. I know, I know, no bitching about seasonality this time.

 

 

Slight haze with a pale yellow color
Reminds me of a hefeweizen light. Lots of clove and spice. Some Banana and
bubblegum. Thin mouthfeel. Not bad but nothing special. Works for the hotter
weather. It gets a 81/100.
