Willoughby Belgian Mist

Brewed by Willoughby Brewing Co.
Style: Belgian Ale
Willoughby, Ohio USA

An unfiltered bee, thin head and a bit of lace. Medium at best mouthfeel. Thin head. A bit of yeast and some malt. IBU 12. I didn’t get much in the aroma. Drying finish.

On tap at brewpub

I stopped here to try a few new beers and take advantage of the sweet happy hour special ($2.25 pints). Since this was the lightest offering I was interested in I ordered it first. Overall it is nicely done and a great way to start a drinking session. You might be able to drink a few if you wanted to be single minded.

Aroma / Appearance - The cloudy golden body had no real head though the glass was filled to the brim. Honey wheat cheerios, light maltiness and a sweetness created a simple but informative bouquet.

Flavor / Palate - The carbonated mouthfeel faded fast so it took a few sips to pick up the wheat and floral notes. There is a nice hoppiness to the tail end that lingers in the throat just long enough to make you think about ordering a second. There was not much else to pick up; this is basically a one-trick pony. However it is an effective one that is worth trying if it still happens to be on tap or is re-released.
