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.

Poured a pale hazy yellow. The head is medium, white, creamy, laces well. The aroma is spicy, yeasty, definitely some sweet orange peel, coriander, and slightly sour. The flavor is very sharp and warm, more spicy than the aroma, shows the coriander, and has some sourness. The palate was full and well carbonated. The finish left a spicy tingle at the back of my mouth. I’d put this up there with St. Bernardus as far as my favorite wits go.

Cloudy yellow pour. Tastes of Citrus and wheat toast. Dryer than I expected. Good solid wit. I prefer Hoegaarden, but this is better than Blue Moon or other domestic attempts.

Bottle. Strange yeasty aroma - the spice here reminds me of the spice used to, say, spice a chicken rather than a beer. Additional, more common notes include coriander, lemon, pepper, and medium-strong vanilla and honey. Hazy yellow with a short light head. Robust. Spiced taste, medium body and very smooth, dry and yeasty aftertaste with a touch of wheat. More enjoyable than the score implies - a very good summer session, and to its credit, not at all normal.

Lemon/orange aroma, Cloudy golden pour with no head. Strange bitter taste at first, turning to grapefuit. Peaches on the finish, but gets a little grainy at the end.

Batch #37. Aroma of light lemon, wheat and some yeast. Hazy golden color with a white head that laces. Medium mouthfeel. Wheat start. Mild lemon and spice. Yeast. Fairly dry finish, and there is some bitter to carry on. Very refreshing.

On tap at a friends house. Pours a cloudy yellow/orange with a medium foamy white head that left nice lacing. Aroma of lemon, various citrus, banana, corriander, Wit yeast and spicy. Flavor of various citrus, wheat, yeast, lemongrass, kind of bready. Well done Wit.

Cloudy light amber with a big fluffy long lasting white head. Light bodied silky mouthfeel. Initial taste of slightly sweet pear and orange giving way to some sourness and finishing with tastes of coriander and cloves. Clean almost dry finish. A very drinkable beer.

12oz bottle. Hazy yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of spice, yeast, and citrus. Spicy flavor with notes of yeast, lemongrass, wheat and hops. Enjoyable and refreshing, a perfect beer for summertime.
