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

Serve in Tumbler, Weizen

Cloudy golden yellow color with a thin white head. Skunky aroma with a hint of yeast. MIld wheat flavor with a lot of spice.

For a wheat, this has a lot going on- flavors not common to beer. That being said, I would rather drink a beer that tastes like beer. Taste of orange peel and coriander is strongest. Lots of spices. I had it with Mahi Mahi, which seemed to negate the flavor of the fish. Save it for deviled eggs or other spicy appetizers.$7.99 for a large bottle, maybe 25 oz at Gulf Liquors Miami Beach.

Pours a slightly cloudy straw gold with a tall rocky white head that has good retention and leaves really nice lacing. Aroma is big on wheat, spice, yeast, fresh orange peel, green banana, not the most comlex but very inviting. Flavor is chewy wheat cereal, orange, coriander, sweet floral notes, more green banana. FInish is yeast and spices, with a sort of tart green banana and orange note that I though was interesting but not the most tasty. Body was a little sweet and almost slimy. I really think it is a pretty good beer though, it really tastes better at a warmer temperature than I would normally drink a wit.

Bottle. Bright yellow color with a thick creamy white head. Strong smell of spices. and wheat. This was a very light and refreshing brew.

(bottle - 12 oz) Cloudy yellow pour with a fizzy but lasting white head. Aroma is tart and grainy with that Belgian yeast hint, spices, cloves, bananas, and some orange. Flavor is a very nice blend of wheat, spices, and banana flavors from the yeast. The middle has that nice bitter and grainy wheat flavor and the spices suspend for a moment to let the wheat come through. They return for the finish and leave a very light and bitter spice aftertaste.

this is one of the best beers i have had to date, great spice and yeast flavor! i only buy this beer in the 750ml bottle, i belive it tastes alot better than 12 oz bottles due to bulk aging.

UPDATED: JUL 20, 2010 Honestly, the best cure for the not-so-terrible hangover. the spices, and the wheat are so refreshing, one of my favorite all-around beers, could have this anytime and love it. After the belgian white craze i have been in for the last few months, i appreciate this one even more and truely think it is the best white ale ive had. the oats they use combined with the yeast strain makes a perfect combination.

Draught at The Big Hunt, Hazy yellow with a medium, frothy head. Lightly wheaty, yeasty, and spicy aroma with some lemon. Crisp and dry flavor with wheat, yeast, citrus, light spice and low bitterness. light bodied with just-lively-enough carbonation. Great session beer in the Belgian mold.
