Allagash White

On tap at Beer and Wine Boutique in Placerville. I’m not a huge fan of Witbiers, but this one was an improvement compared to ones I’ve had. Very limited carbination, although it has sizable head. The flavor was odd, and I couldn’t place it, largely because I had about 2 oz. to taste. It was ok.

franziskaner’s lighter American brother. slight cloudy yellow color, nice smooth fruit taste. very clean and refreshing. worth a try anytime

On Tap. Pours cloudy gold woth small white head. Aroma of citrus, grass, and yeast. Flavor of bananas and flora. Nice white.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at Flanagan’s Liquors in Appleton, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-clear golden pale brew with a fast dissolving white head that leaves behind a fine film and white ring. Aroma of light multi-grain malt, some citrus zest, light herbal spice, and a touch of banana esters. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with a more wit flavor than its aroma. More banana, yeast and clove flavors come out in the taste. Finish is semi-sweet, a little watery with a dry banana and yeast aftertaste flavor.

20? oz bottle. Poured a golden yellow with a little cloudiness not as much head. Some citrus on the nose. It was light and the flavor was not very complex as you may expect from Allagash. Stick with Hoegaarden.

Poured from tap a light pale blond with nice creamy white head. Lots of spice and citrus in the aroma. Taste of clove, banana, citrus with a bit of bubble gum sweetness. It ends a bit dry and powdery with not enough carbonation to give a great acidic pop like other wheat beers. Overall, great flavor I just wish they upped the carbonation.

Pours light lager color with minimal head. Nose of citrus caramel with a hint of hops and yeast. Very crisp mouthfeel with dry finish. A bit thin on the palate though. Flavors of citrus, floral malt with some hop astringency near the end. Very tastey and very drinkable- a winner for its style.

pretty solid aroma, nice for a witbier. appearance obviously not as impressive as a dark beer, but nice coloration. very nice flavor- citrusy first hit, with a very dry finish- more complexity than your typical witbier. palate pretty ordinary, but not bad. very tasty beer overall.
