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.

Bottle. Tullip. Pours a very pretty yellow couldy ale. This beer is very typical of the style. Lemony flavors are also expressed in the aroma. Mildly yeasty and spices of coriander can be perceived. Good.

The first two bottles were absolutely plesant, however, it does not lay down well. Generally a nice and wheaty wit. Generously yeasty, somewhat citrusy as well, graviating towards orange. Pure yellow body, medium wite head (when poured correctly). If I could get this on tap as well, I’m sure it would sit well as a session beer. (Bottle Pour 1/15/2007 and 6/23/2007) Sweet nectar on the nose, thin chewy and yeasty. (On Tap - Brickskeller’s Lupulin Reunulin - 05/13/2008)

On tap at Capone’s. Cloudy straw to yellow color. Gives me the impression of apricot juice; sour and a bit vinous. Tangy citrus/lemon bite. Tangy texture. Spicy/vinous finish.

Not too much of a head with this particular pour. Looks like a typical wit beer, cloudy/hazy and lite-golden colored. Smells citrusy and spicy, lemons and coriander? Rounded and smooth palate gives way to a crisper finish. The spice is subtle, pleasant and not overwhelming. Long finish leaves an almost drying tartness. I haven’t been to Maine in a while but this beer would certainly be refreshing on a summer afternoon in vacationland.

Hazy golden pour with white head. Nice wheat aroma. I have had this many times on tap in my days of living in maine, however i’ll rate it as the bottle i have just tasted in florida. I found that the tap had much more flavor. The flavor of the bottle was rather dissapointing compared to the avery white rascal, alot less spicy.

Has a hazy pale white gold pour with orange and yellow around the edges, a creamy white head, wheat, malt and mild coriander fragrances, faint white pepper aroma, has a wheat malt taste with lemon, very light pepper flavor, a balance of sweet and tart, light on the palate, lots of sticky lacing on the glass, tasty Wit, this beer looks like it was made with more pilsner malt compared to other Wits with all of gold in the brew, dry on the palate, I would get this again.

First taste 6/2/07. Had this with a grilled burger for dinner. Pour is a cloudy yellow-gold with a small white head. Aromas and flavors are of orange peel, yeast and spice. Very similar to a Hoegaarden, but not as heavy on the coriander, or flavor in general. Slightly better body than the Avery White Rascal, but not as flavorfull. Overall, I found it to be refreshing on a 90+ degree Florida day, but I was hoping for a little more "punch" of flavor. Somewhat disappointing in this respect. I’ll put it on the list to give it another try in the future.
