The Whoot Whoot

Tap to rate

The Whoot Whoot is White Dog's triple New England IPA, a 10% ABV beer at 25 IBU that the brewery introduced with the words "Starting a legacy". The nose carries a lot of orange zest, and the body is full, with a hint of alcohol and sweet ripe pear. White Dog is a contract brewery from Dordrecht, founded by Ricky Maertzendorff and his Westie, and its beers are brewed at partner breweries rather than at a site of its own.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for The Whoot Whoot

◎ Appearance

The Whoot Whoot presents a pale straw-yellow hue typical of hazy IPAs, with moderate cloudiness from suspended yeast and hop matter. The head is modest but persistent, forming a loose collar of foam that clings gently to the glass. Carbonation is moderate and evenly distributed, creating a soft, inviting visual impression.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by bright citrus notes, particularly orange zest and candied orange peel, which lead into softer stone fruit character. Ripe pear emerges in the mid-range, supported by a subtle sweetness that suggests residual malt body beneath the hop-driven profile. Alcohol warmth is detectable but not aggressive, adding subtle depth without dominating the bouquet.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and full-bodied, delivering immediate juicy citrus and stone fruit flavors that fill the palate evenly. Mid-palate shows a pleasant balance between sweet ripe fruit and gentle bitterness, with peach and tropical notes adding complexity and dimension. The 25 IBU bitterness is restrained and refined, never harsh, allowing the beer's fruit-forward character and malt sweetness to remain prominent throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length and clean, with lingering orange and pear notes fading into a subtle malt sweetness. Alcohol presence becomes slightly more apparent in the aftertaste but remains well-integrated, leaving the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

About Hazy IPA

What is a Hazy IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
