Commercial Description:
Formerly known As Alaskan Belgian Wit

Brewed with coriander, bitter orange peel and malted wheat, Alaskan White Ale has a light and crisp body pleasant tartness followed by slightly spicy aftertaste. The malted wheat gives the beer a more full and lightly malty mouthfeel. There is an aroma and flavor of wheat and coriander, with a dry and refreshingly carbonated finish.

12oz. bottle. Sweet, citric and spicy aroma, plenty of orange and coriander to be found, along with lighter notes of honey, wheat grain, perfume and faint clove. Lightly hazy deep golden color, head is slight and subsiding. Some heavy spice and light hop bitterness to start, turning citric and acidic, finishing with a wash of watery sweetness and fading malt. Thin and a bit harsh on the palate, body is light-medium. A little overly sweet, and not well integrated. Underwhelming.

The look is clear, with an off white head, and a golden color. The smell is wheat, sweet, citrus, some spices, and fruits. The taste is sweet, citrus, and fruits. Ok.

Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy dark yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), trace hops (flowers), with light notes of melon rind, orange, coriander. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately to heavily bitter, unclean. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Oof...pretty unpleasant to drink thanks to abrasive bitterness (perhaps from spices) and a dirty aftertaste. Not much in the nose.

Bottle: Clear gold, light head, white lacing. Nose of bright spices, coriander, juniper and orange. Fresh and light, springy and fruity. Light body, lots of dull wheat flavor. Meh.

Nose is cinnamon toast with some orange zest. Hazy Orangey gold color with a medium head. Cotton candy jam on a biscuit with some subtle spicy hops for balance. Big carbonation, medium body, sweet spicy finish. Lots of flavors going on in this, but seems a little too sweet, almost if it was designed this way with the expectation that one would add a lemon. Decent beer though.
