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!

Ungstrup (26267) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - MAY 29, 2005
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.

argo0 (10388) - Washington DC, USA - NOV 21, 2004
Cloudy golden body with no head. Aroma is medium sweet, some fruity sourness (cherry, lemon), light barnyard. Taste is medium sweet, lemon, sugar, light cherry, faint oak. Light sour body. Ok, but in my book not in the same league as the top Flemish sours.

madsberg (8811) - Søborg, DENMARK - NOV 6, 2006
Bottled. Thanks to ChrisC. Orange coloured. Unclear. Dense beige. Sweet, fresh, fruity, spiced and grapish aroma. Flavour is almost like drinking vinegar. Yummy. Grapes, marzipan, spice, sweetness and light fruits. Dry and acidic. Medium bodied. Fruits and alcohol mingled with some spiced ends this very dry beer. My wife didn’t like this, leaving me with 75cl. What a shame ;-).
