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.

12oz, tasted at brewery. Pours off yellow, very cloudy. There’s acid in the aroma, maybe from unmalted wheat? There’s a slight grain bitterness, not as sweet as I was expecting. Wonderful full body but not too much. Yay beer!

From a 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours with lots of white, puffy head. Smells of lemon, orange and spices. Taste is very similar with wheat and yeast thrown into the meld. Nice and refreshing. Very true to style although a bit expensive compared to other equally as good wits. Would drink again.

12 ounce bottle purchased at Holiday Wine Cellar. Pours a hazy pale yellow with moderate white head composed of especially small bubbles. Aroma of wheat, fresh and under ripe lemon, and a nice spice note. Much of the same in the flavor with wheat, citrus-y hops, and coriander. Watery and thin mouthfeel with a slightly dry finish. Nice and refreshing, but far from exciting.

This is by no means a bad drink, but apparently we (Jenn and I) do not care for Belgian Whites that much. As far as Belgian Whites go, however, it is a good one (our experience with them is limited).

Draft. Nice and easy to drink belgian white. Smooth, some lemon citrus, yeast and a bit of spice. Refreshing.

Tap at Bonn Lair. Pretty orange-yellow color with a thick white head. Slight grassy nose with corriander. Spicey taste -- heavy corriander -- more than I like, but a full flavor.

12oz bottle. Poured hazy medium golden with a sticky cap of white head.. lots of sediment suspended in there. The aroma picked up toasted wheaty notes and spices (coriander and orange zest come to mind) along with what seemed to be oaky character.. more of the citrus as it warmed up. The flavor had pale, rather non-descript malts at the core with citrus zest and spices surrounding.. dry, grainy, and a little cardboardey.. a tad sour (in a good way) on the rather quick finish. Light-medium-bodied with moderate carbonation on the palate.. grainy and sour.. man.. this wasn’t bad, but it tasted like it was old.

Had this at a beer tasting at Wine World in NA. Really liked it but I don’t think as much as I like Hoegaarden. Probably need to drink them side by side, but they are very similar....but Allagash costs more.
