Commercial Description:
Our interpretation of a traditional Belgian wheat beer, Allagash White delicately balances full flavor with a crisp, refreshing taste and subtle hints of spice. Naturally cloudy, bottled with yeast.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow color that for some reason reminds me of lemon drop candies. Yeast particulates in suspension. Medium sized white head. Sweet citrus, wheat, coriander on the nose. Body is light and clean. Finish is crisp as well with light citrus and yeast notes.

For a wheat, this has a lot going on- flavors not common to beer. That being said, I would rather drink a beer that tastes like beer. Taste of orange peel and coriander is strongest. Lots of spices. I had it with Mahi Mahi, which seemed to negate the flavor of the fish. Save it for deviled eggs or other spicy appetizers.$7.99 for a large bottle, maybe 25 oz at Gulf Liquors Miami Beach.

Pours a slightly cloudy straw gold with a tall rocky white head that has good retention and leaves really nice lacing. Aroma is big on wheat, spice, yeast, fresh orange peel, green banana, not the most comlex but very inviting. Flavor is chewy wheat cereal, orange, coriander, sweet floral notes, more green banana. FInish is yeast and spices, with a sort of tart green banana and orange note that I though was interesting but not the most tasty. Body was a little sweet and almost slimy. I really think it is a pretty good beer though, it really tastes better at a warmer temperature than I would normally drink a wit.

(bottle - 12 oz) Cloudy yellow pour with a fizzy but lasting white head. Aroma is tart and grainy with that Belgian yeast hint, spices, cloves, bananas, and some orange. Flavor is a very nice blend of wheat, spices, and banana flavors from the yeast. The middle has that nice bitter and grainy wheat flavor and the spices suspend for a moment to let the wheat come through. They return for the finish and leave a very light and bitter spice aftertaste.

this is one of the best beers i have had to date, great spice and yeast flavor! i only buy this beer in the 750ml bottle, i belive it tastes alot better than 12 oz bottles due to bulk aging.

Honestly, the best cure for the not-so-terrible hangover. the spices, and the wheat are so refreshing, one of the best american wheat beers ive had.
