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.

Rated 1/28/07: Lemon yellow pour with a medium white head and mild lacing, nice and cloudy. Soft aroma with a nice delicate flowery nose coupled with mild spices. Mouthfeel is an odd blend of creamy smooth and fizzy, weird but kind of nice. Flavor seems more delicate than the aroma, nice light citrus flavor of lemon and orange. The spices aren’t as prevelent but are still noticeable. Extremely quenching and satisfying, but I prefer my Wits to be a little more assertive.

Boring to say the least. Allagash’s other brews, the ones they aren’t extorting us for money on, are excellent. Maybe I am a pureist. I can’t even spell. But this taste like unfiltered sulfur water with some yeast and some flowers. Maybe a twist of lemon but not that enamel eating strength. hmmm..

12oz bottle. Pours a light cloudy yellow with nice lacing, but head does not last long. Nice wheaty aroma, if a bit light. Taste is light and lemony - too light. I’ve always been a big hefeweizen fan and have recently been trying some Belgian witbiers, and generally being a bit disappointed in their lightness. I’ve been doing some reading and am learning that the lightness generally goes along with the style - along with spices, but not much spice was noticeable in this one. Personally, I’d take a decent hefeweizen over this one any day.

A well done wit. Very carbonated, the sample I had. Refreshing summer beer with the characteristic orange and coriander flavors. Perfumy. One of my favorite styles.

Wheat, sweet, mild spicy citrus. Yellow/Orange unfiltered with small white head. Flavor is mostly wheat, sweet orange corriander flavor. Very smooth and refreshing, but again, not my favorite style.

From a 750ml bottle batch #36 in a pint glass. Pours hazy pale orange with nice lasting white head and nice lacing. Light aroma of fresh orange and very mild spice. Very delicate balance of orange, spice and sweet vanilla flavors. Medium-light body and medium carbonation make this an incredibly refreshing beer. An excellent example of the style, one of the best I’ve had.

Pours cloudy straw color, white lacy head. Light spiced citrus aroma. Crisp spiced lemony flavor, and clean finish, but a bit watery.
