Allagash White

Brewed by Allagash Brewing Company
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Portland, Maine USA

First rating: 6/3/7/4/14 = 3.4 Re-rate: Draft. Pours unclear goldenrod with a white heads. The aroma is lemony citrus with an awesome spicy kick of nutmeg and clove. The flavor is very similar, with a nice balance of citrus and spice, but has a very light soapy-ness that detracts a little bit. Good nonetheless.

cloudy pour, style right? wheat in the nose, spice in the mouth. its subtle, its light, its not for me.

Sample on tap at the draughthouse courtesy of fly. Thanks!
Pours murky yellowish white a light whitish head atop. Smell is very wheaty, more so than spicy to me with hints of citrus. Taste is equally wheaty, with a lesser spiced influence which I like about it. Hearty, flavorful and drinkable, and a style I’m perhaps coming around on, a bit because of examples like this. Good witbier.

This pours a nice cloudy yellow with a fluffy white head. Smells like a white beer should, fresh and citrusy. Also tastes like I had hoped it would - crisp, citrusy, slightly carbonated. Very slightly bitter aftertaste, but overall very clean finish. I give this high marks due to high drinkability. I suspect I’ll be drinking more of this during the summer.

On tap. Very fruity and easy to drink. Served with orange, and picked up a lot of sweet orange flavors. Not very spicy. Very easy to drink.

On tap at Plan B, served with a slice of orange. Pours a cloudly yellow with slight white head. Tastes of your typical Belgian witbier with a nice blend of spices in the finish. Good, refreshing beer but make sure you drink it while it’s still cold.

750ml bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. The pour reveals a slightly cloudy yellow color with a medium, creamy, white head. The aroma has a solid presence of wheat with some lemon and mild spices. The flavor is solid, the lemon is more up front than in the aroma, there’s still a good wheat presence with some yeast and spices. The body is full with a creamy texture and mellow carbonation. A very fine wit bier.

750 ml, labeled Batch #44. Pale, hazy gold with a large head that settles into a lasting ring and leaves meringue all over the glass. Light aroma of yeast, peppery citrus, and slight bubble gum. Same stuff is more pronounced in the taste. Almost seems like cinnamon in the way aftertaste. Light body is soft, dry, tingly and astringent. One of the best Wits out there.
