White Oak is an equal blend of two beers. A wheat-wine aged in Bourbon barrels (we call it "White Oak Sap") and our Belgian-style Golden Strong Ale (Mischief) join each other in a delicate dance of flavor and character before we package the final product. White Oak showcases vivid caramel, coconut and vanilla flavors blanketed in a crisp yet robust wheat ale. A true exercise of balance.

Bottle shared at CBJ - cheers! Pours hazed red-brown with a frothy, off-white head. Medium sweet flavour, some oxidation, citrus peel, pale grains. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish, some golden raisins, mild acidity, pale wood, bready malts. Not bad.

2016 version. Slightly hazy amber with a cream head. Looks big and grand. Somewhat boozy aroma of toffee, oak with vanilla, white pepper and quite a lot of coconut. Fullish bodied, but a little lighter than I'd have guessed. Some sharpish boozy notes interrupt a sweet sipper that's quite nicely tamed by firm oak and some lemon at the end. Pretty good.
