Commercial Description:
Le Woody is the newest release in our series of experimental beers exploring the properties of barrel aging and wild yeast fermentations. For the last 5 years, our brewers in Solana Beach have been creating stylistically challenging beers with bold flavors aged in oak barrels. Each of these small scale batches represents a labor of love and a testament to our patience. In each case, Good Things Come To Those Who Wait. What took so long you might ask? Le Woody was aged for 9 months in French Oak Barrels that once were used in the production of California Chardonnay. At 6.5% ABV, Le Woody is a decidedly refreshing beer with a solid tannic bite which our brewers have married to a lemonade like blast of acidity that finishes in a lightly toasted coconut fullness. Untouched by filters or pasteurization, this bottle conditioned ale will continue to evolve for many years to come for those who thirst with a patience in mind!

An unclear bronze beer with a nice white head. The aroma is sour from the wild fermentation - nice. The flavor is sweet and yet at the same time sour from the wild fermentation - the primary notes is from oranges and lemon, but the body is a little thin.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Pours a very hazy golden with a small, rough white head. Tart Brettish aroma. Medium body with sweetish fruit and acidic accents of horseblanket. Lightly tart finish. Perfectly balanced between sweetness and acidity. 201008

<i>Bottled, thanks cquiroga &#40;or was it Dr. Bill!?!&#41; </i> Cloudy golden, small head. Barnyardy Cantillon aroma. Soft and gently malty with balanced lemony acidity. Vinous and lighlty woody. Refreshing and mindblowingly wonderful.
