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.

From bottle. Very cloudy sunshine yellow with very thin white head. Aroma is yeasty and some banana. Reminds me of a hefe. Some hoppy bitterness on my tongue when tasting. Very spicy and prickly mouthfeel. Decent citrus (orange/lemon?) flavor in the long savor. Leaves no aftertaste.

Poured a beautiful cloudy yellow with BIG foamy head. This was one of my fav witbiers yet. Spicy, sweet, malty, little hoppy taste in there, yeasty. This had it all going on. Most complex witbier I’ve had and this was very, very good. I’ll have to try more Allagash offerings.

Batch #31 the bottle says. Pop the cork and pour it into a nice big open mouth chalice. Nice hazy yellow straw color liquid fills the glass and a big thick foamy head covers the top. The foam slowly settles and covers the sides of the glass in a sticky layer of lace. Big sweet wheat malt sweetness breaks through up front and it closely followed by a big kick of yeasty banana filling the nose. Just a touch of lemon and a hint of orange peel round out the aroma. Wonderful. Smooth and slightly sweet wheat malt fills the mouth. Big and juicy it is soon followed by a wonderful yeast note with great banana flavor coating the palate. More juicy sweetness and a bit of lemon come in. Just makes your mouth water. Big of juicy melon even comes into the mix a bit. On the aftertaste there’s just a hint of woodsy oak and a bit of dry sweetness. Smooth from start to finish. Wonderfully balanced and amazingly easy to drink. More please.

12oz bottle. Cloudy golden with a large, billowy head. Aroma is sharp wheat, coriander, orange/citrus, light spice, and yeast. Taste is sharp wheat, yeast, spicy and earthy hops, and a bit of coriander and citrus. Finish is mildly sour and/or tart. Nice example, but fairly typical.

A fine Belgian White, if you like Blue Moon and you see this beer, it is a step up. Well done, Allagash

On tap at a pub on mulberry street. Good. Very delicious summer beer. Full flavored and refreshing.

Light and spicy beer, I wasn’t too impressed either time I tried it; there are many other white beers out there that beat this hands down.

Originally reviewed back on 5/19/03. Received 4.15 score. Added to my RB list to check "Maine" as a beer state consumed. A favorite summertime wit for me. Spicy and lemony. Clouded yellow appearance. Healthy white head. Peppercorns and coriander seed seem to grind against the teeth. Refreshing.
