My first Allagash beer and so far I am impressed. Not the most powerful or complex, but solid for a wit. Its easy on the pallette with decent finish.

aroma of vegetable something like ripe green cabbage and root vegetables with a touch of clove, coriander and two touches of sugar. tastes similarly with a light citrus backdrop very much like a (orange) creamsicle. that would perhaps lend well to the off white yeasty look and slick, creamy mouthfeel. if you only pour out half the bottle you see a golden lager since the yeast settles.

G: Poured into a pint glass. Had this one last summer, and this is part of my quest to bring my old notes in line with the "electronic notebook" that BA so graciously offers all of us. A: Light and slightly cloudy. Good amount of carbonation, and pretty good lacing. S: Lots of excellent spicing here. Plenty of citrus and coriander, with a good wheat undertone. T: Excellent. The perfect balance to the sweetness and the spice--it definitely does not overdo either one. Some floral undertones. M: Very nice. Soft body and perfect for summer drinking. D: As stated above, the perfect summer beer--next time you’re out in warm weather, see if you can find a small bottle of this; you won’t regret it.

dark straw hazy color with frothy white head. the flavor is more pronounced than most of the belgian wits i’ve tried. lemony and spicy.

UPDATED: SEP 1, 2011 12 oz. bottle poured into pint. My first known experience with craft beer. I give this beer credit for my search for the best beers. Creamy golden color. Sweet flavor all the way through. Refreshing summer beer.

Big bright orange/ yellowish bright pour, fluffy white head. Smell was yeast sweetness, some cinnamon/ coriander spice. Taste was clean, light, with more spice coming through. Mouthfeel was light, so if you like the lighter style coriander, you’ll love this. This was a solid beer, very drinkable, will be having this again.

Very light in taste. Little to no after taste left on the back of your tongue. Smooth and easy to drink.

Very pale golden, just a touch hazy. Aroma of yeast, citrus, wheat and spices. Flavor is full, dominated by citrus, with wheaty and spicy flavors as wll. Light bodied and refreshing. Very good interpretation of the style.
