Apr 20, 2009 Pale peach flesh goldenrod color with an off white head. Hazy body and okay retention/lacing. Aroma is wheaty with a lot of banana pith and a kiss of coriander. Flavor is again laden with banana pith, but there’s more complexity than in the aroma. Coriander is still there but it’s joined by a light lemony tartness and some citrus zest. Slightly sweet doughiness paired with the citrus evokes lemon bar pastries (although not nearly as sharp or sweet). Body is thin enough to be refreshing but not too flimsy to carry the flavor. Carbonation is just a touch high, but it’s soft enough to avoid being distracting. Overall this is a very good witbier but it lacks the depth and variety of ester notes of the best Belgian examples.

Apr 10, 2009 Cloudy pale gold with a two finger white head. Fair amount of lacings. Aroma of floral hops and grass. Taste is mild bready, grass, wild yeast, with a mildly bitter hop flavor. Very smooth drinker and quite sessionable. The hickory or boiled ham notes are minimal which made this a pleasant beer for me.

Apr 3, 2009 Draft at Good Night Irene’s Pours a pale yellow with a thin white head. The head dissapates rather quickly. Aroma of good citrus flavors. Has a malty flavor. Decent mouthfeel and pretty good carbination. This is a tasty beer but not totally outstanding.
helambert (5), USA
does not count  Mar 29, 2009 Great Maine beer with all of the lovely crispness of a true wheat beer. Allagash achieves a superb pale and cloudy appearance with a nice citrus flavor.
EricE (446), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
Mar 28, 2009 An old favorite of mine. Pours a very pale straw yellow color with lots of crap floating around. Thin layer of white bubbles on top. Very intense aroma dominated by yeast. Lots of citrus, orange peel, and coriander. Grainy malt flavor with strong yeast flavor on top. Spicy and citrusy. Very crisp, refreshing and easy to drink.
