COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Formerly known As Alaskan Belgian Wit

Brewed with coriander, bitter orange peel and malted wheat, Alaskan White Ale has a light and crisp body pleasant tartness followed by slightly spicy aftertaste. The malted wheat gives the beer a more full and lightly malty mouthfeel. There is an aroma and flavor of wheat and coriander, with a dry and refreshingly carbonated finish.

Cavie (3249) - Fort Worth, Texas, USA - SEP 11, 2011
Bottle courtesy frattoooooo. Pours a hazy golden yellow color with a foamy white head. Aroma is lemon peel, lemon pepper, spices and coriander. X Flavor is fruity, spicy and pretty much straight Belgian Witbier.

portableparty (1008) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - SEP 5, 2011
Pours clear amber with a very fast soapy head that fades to nothing. Aroma has some spice and faded caramel with more vegteble and metallic notes. Taste is clean spice and hints of sugar with more earthy vegteble and malt. Palate is thin fizzy and watery with a dry finish.

bsp77 (724) - Minnesota, USA - SEP 4, 2011
Poured from bottle into Chalice. Best by 7/27/11. Appearance: Hazy orange with an extremely white cap. Looks more like a Hefe than a Wit, but without the impressive head and lacing. Aroma: Orange extravaganza with light wheat and coriander. Taste: Light wheat flavor with complex orange layers on top. Light coriander finish but remains fairly sweet throughout. Palate: Moderately high carbonation, fairly light body with just a semi-dry finish. Overall: Overall this has a nice orange-like flavor, but it isn’t really a Wit, as it lacks Belgian yeast and the crisp dryness I expect. More like an American Wheat with loads of orange. Certainly drinkable and refreshing but I have little desire to have it again.

Barreras (368) - Diamond Bar, California, USA - AUG 21, 2011
Pours a cloudy yellow color with a slight citrus aroma and taste. This beer almost seems to be a borderline wheat beer. Throughout the beer you can taste the slight spicyness and citrus used to brew it. Overall a decent white ale that was easy drinking.

A beer featuring lemon peel, spices and some light hops. Fairly average in every respect.
