Alaskan White Ale

Brewed by Alaskan Brewing Co
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Juneau, Alaska USA

( 22oz bottle thanks to travita) Pours very clear yellow with no head but good lacing. Nose of alcohol, cloves, and spices. Taste is wheat, spicy, a little syrupy with a dry finish.

Light hazy, yellow pour, thin white head. Nose is faintly spicy and fruity. Coriander. Hop notes are light but they are there if you try. A touch overcarbonated which leads to a thin mouthfeel. Spices are much more distinct upon sipping than in the nose, almost a bit too much for such a thin beer. Dry finish that prickles with carbonation. Can’t shake this soapy flavor though, it bothered me from the start of the beer to the finish, something strange there.

From the Bottle at Indulgences Etc, Denver 23/09/2009 Some spiced aroma. Golden coloured with a spicy clove flavour. Crisp fruity and slightly dry in the finish.

Decent, but uninspiring witbier. Dull gold pour, slightly cloudy, thin head. Some aroma and depth, but mostly malt and a touch of spice.

clear gold with small white head. light aroma with mostly malt and a little spice, a little flowery too. dry citruis flavor, light body

light haze, corn yellow colored body, soft white head. nose is spicy and fruity coriander and madarin oranges, light grassy hop note. medium to light body, fizzy and thin (slightly syrupy) texture. heavily spiced for such a light body, it’s a bit overdone. decently crisp finish, moderatley dry, lightly acidic. overall a run of the mill witbier, not terrible, not exceptional, just a little too floral and soapy.

First of all, I’m not a big fan of witbiers. That said, here’s my review of Alaskan’s White Ale. Very colorfully yellow for a wit, clear, with an aroma of yeast and light spice. Citrus, orange flavor with more yeast and coriander, but with a light mouthfeel. Still, nothing to change my preference toward wits.

Bottle as part of a mixed 6. Nose is light weat, then a ton of orange peel. Flavor is the citric orange peel and spiciness - some yeasty wheat in the background, but the orange completely dominates.
