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.

Bomber from the rip and run. soft nose of lemons arise from this hazy yellow pour. A dense white fluffy head sits proudly upon the pillar of yellow haze. Body is loght and crisp with corriander and cloves. Citrus sueeze is a skash more intense than the spice that leads to a nice balanced sour finish.

Not much aroma. Poured with a light, fine, white head and a bit of lace. Hazy yellow color. A bit citrus. Kind of indistinct. Sort of crisp. Ok beer. Don’t pick up any of the spice. Not a bad finish. What finish there is though, is short lived.

Bottle. Very nice appearance large head and hazy body. Aroma is nice with bananas, bread, and pear. A bit fizzy but nice finish. One of the best white beers I have had.

12 oz bottle generously given to me by Gregis. Pour is hazy straw yellow golden with a one inch perfectly white head. Nice full lacing. Only a few tiny carbonation bubbles slowly float to the surface. Aroma of spicy perfumed wheat, slightly sour citrus and soft yeastiness. Soft and fresh. Taste represents the nose quite well, with clove spice wheat, citric sour lemon and a great grainy yeastiness. Some black pepper in the finish, which lingers nicely. Palate is medium and mouth coating, full taste, yet still clean and refreshing. This was a gem, thanks Greg.

On tap at Beachwood BBQ in Seal Beach, Calif. This had a faint hint of spice and wheat. It was very light and crisp, refreshing for a scorching hot day but nothing really unique.

Draft. Poured a hazy golden body. Aroma is light fruit, spices, corriander. Flavor is light spices, floral hops, orange peel. Mouthfeel was nice but thicker body than I expected.

Smooth and frothy, nice cloudy orange body. Wheat flavor with orange, oats and melon undertones. Not a bad white brew.

Draft at McGrath’s pub in Harrisburg, PA.I have had this in the past many times, but since Ross has a man crush on the brewers at Allagash, I figured I would enter this rating to shut him up. Pours amber orange with a thin white head. Aroma of orange and wheat malts. Medium bodied but with a refreshing texture- with no wateryness. Flavor of orange, coriander, wheat malt, and belgian phenols. Attenuation is normal, somewhere in the middle. Finish has a semi dry yeast and clove dominance, perhaps a very very faint hint of hops. Enjoyable, but not the best wit beer in the universe like Ross makes it out to be.
