Many thanks go out to finewinemike for a chance to try this beer. Came as part of my Secret Santa for 2010.
I guess that this is a somewhat atypical Dogfish Head beer in as much as it is somewhat typical for the style! Nothing really very outlandish here at all, all quite “normal”.
A honey body sits underneath a tight, fine, dense white head. Nice lace.
The nose and tastes are very floral with the emphasis on the lemongrass rather than the orange peel or coriander. The body and mouthfeel are both very full and smooth and quite surprisingly so as the style can sometimes be a little light. Sensible ABV for a change, too.
I don’t know how much this cost, so the value is a bit lost on me, but it’s very nice, lemongrass based Wit that will delight those that enjoy the style.
