Woody Creek

Brewery: Flying Dog Brewery
Supplier: Beers of Europe

This is my first beer in my new house and is a seasonal summer release from Flying Dog. Like all traditional witbiers (or Belgian style white as it is called here and elsewhere) it contains a large amount of unmalted wheat. I served this cold.
Appearance: Very effervescent but with practically no head what so ever. Straw coloured, looks a bit like appletiser. 
Aroma: Smells a lot like that typical corn/musty peach that you find a lot in Belgian styles. 
Flavour: Very fresh and crisp with vary mild flavours. Typical wheat malts with some green peach phenols. Not much in the flavour front, starts to taste like carbonated water after a while. Missing the citrus and spiced notes usually associated. 
Body: Way to fizzy and watery. 
Aftertaste: Still some wheat but that is about it. 

Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 4. Nothing offensive just not much flavour.

Price Range: £2.49 for a 355ml bottle, a bit too pricy.

Food Pairings: Something very plain like Asian style rice and steamed vegetables.
