Allagash White

I’m not too impressed with this one at all. Maybe it’s just the style that I don’t care for. While not unpleasant, this White is quite boring with no real character to speak of. Flavor is what you’d expect; Wheat, lemon, and a little pepper. I will finish it easily, but will not be buying again. Will have again only if offered for free.

Bomber from the rip and run. soft nose of lemons arise from this hazy yellow pour. A dense white fluffy head sits proudly upon the pillar of yellow haze. Body is loght and crisp with corriander and cloves. Citrus sueeze is a skash more intense than the spice that leads to a nice balanced sour finish.

Not much aroma. Poured with a light, fine, white head and a bit of lace. Hazy yellow color. A bit citrus. Kind of indistinct. Sort of crisp. Ok beer. Don’t pick up any of the spice. Not a bad finish. What finish there is though, is short lived.

Bottle. Very nice appearance large head and hazy body. Aroma is nice with bananas, bread, and pear. A bit fizzy but nice finish. One of the best white beers I have had.

12 oz bottle generously given to me by Gregis. Pour is hazy straw yellow golden with a one inch perfectly white head. Nice full lacing. Only a few tiny carbonation bubbles slowly float to the surface. Aroma of spicy perfumed wheat, slightly sour citrus and soft yeastiness. Soft and fresh. Taste represents the nose quite well, with clove spice wheat, citric sour lemon and a great grainy yeastiness. Some black pepper in the finish, which lingers nicely. Palate is medium and mouth coating, full taste, yet still clean and refreshing. This was a gem, thanks Greg.
