Probably in part to celebrate the recent changes to the site and also because I am continuing to work through a stretch of Flying Dog reviews, I am inspired to dedicate another month to one of my favorite breweries. I will not disclose which one it will be today, but in the next few days I will declare the brewery for the month of February. Since the first try at this went very well and was a lot of fun, I am looking forward to doing it again.
On to what I think will conclude the stretch where I was working my way through a mixed pack of Flying Dog beers.
Brewery: Flying Dog Brewery (Frederick, MD)
Name: In-Heat Wheat
Style: (Hefe)Weizen
ABV: 4.7%
Tasting Notes: Stored in the fridge and served in a weizen-like glass.
Aroma: Banana aroma with a bit of spice and a light wheat/bready nose.
Appearance: Light gold to yellow color. Two finger, white head that dissipates fairly quick with a little trail. Appears clear with many visible bubbles.
Flavor: Faint banana with no noticeable hop bitterness. A slight clove-like flavor that remains after a somewhat dry finish. Relatively weak flavor overall.
Mouthfeel: Medium to light body with high carbonation that give some bite.
Overall Impressions: Refreshing, easy drinking, and light (maybe surprisingly so for a wheat). Slightly more flavor as it warms a bit. Good, but not great (whatever that means).
Grade: B
