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.

Bottled from Spokane, WA. Clear golden, minimal head. fruity spicy tangerine aroma. Mid sweet with well rounded mouthfeel. Nicely citric with intense herbal spicyness but low bitterness. A very refreshing witbier with quite intense spicyness.

A bit hazy orange color, small white head. Coriander spicey, bready aroma. Quite light palate. Wheatish, strong coriander spiceyness. Quite Belgian. Quite refreshing. Some similarities to Alaskan Summer Ale, which I had before this one.

Bottle from BevMo. Hazy golden color with a slight white head. Light spice aroma. Sort of medium bodied. Rather malty for a wit. Not exactly exciting. Drinkable. Might grow on me.

3fourths (6219) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - NOV 14, 2009
light haze, corn yellow colored body, soft white head. nose is spicy and fruity coriander and madarin oranges, light grassy hop note. medium to light body, fizzy and thin (slightly syrupy) texture. heavily spiced for such a light body, it’s a bit overdone. decently crisp finish, moderatley dry, lightly acidic. overall a run of the mill witbier, not terrible, not exceptional, just a little too floral and soapy.
