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.

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.

Bottle: Nice white head, white a very pale body. Aroma is pleasing, not quite as overpowering as many Wits. Nice mix of citrus, yeasts, and cooking spices. Starts out tart, with an underlying sweet fruit quality. Definite banana qualities here in the finish. Not quite as crisp as I expected. Apple and yeast noted. A somewhat restrained version of a Belgian Wit that seemed to have many German Hefe qualities to it. Only major complaint would be that the bitterness at finish did not work for this beer. Interesting interpretation of the style though.

This was not a bad white. I was expecting a little more in the flavor department. Everything else is cosistent with other beers I have had in this style.

Oh my gosh it’s Allagash! This was a refreshing quaff, good sir, but lacking in the oomph department, I do say. It smelled good and spicy, but I didn’t really get much flavor overall. What was there was smooth, tranquil and decent. I was hoping for a little more spice than I got. Decent Wit, nothing to write to grandma about.

Pours a golden color. Aggressive decanting still leaves some yeast in bottom of bottle. Aroma is lemons, peppery spices, and yeast. Taste is dominantly banana with some orange, lemon, and bready yeast. Mouthfeel is on the light side, which I enjoy. Slightly bitter finish is rather unpleasant. Fine beer, but slightly overrated, IMO.
