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.

Bottle. Lots of spice in aroma and flavor with a hint of orange and banana. Pours with a medium head and light gold in color. Not a bad witbier but once is enough

Nice spice aroma, some definite coriander. This is a pretty good beer. Not too wheaty, some great spices and overall a good wit.

12oz bottle. Very lightly hazed gold-copper color with a lasting white head. Lots of orange and spices in the aroma like a sweet spiced cake. The flavor is herbal and spicy with a citrus note and some sweet toasty malt. Chunky in body and pretty much missing the lean refreshing quality of of a god wit. Over-spiced overall, and more like a christmas ale than a wit, with more malt than it knows what to do with.

Bottle. Decent witbier coriander spice aroma. Gold body with white head. Flavor was little to watery and soapy with some hint of lemon zest. Little bland on palate.

Bottle from Pizza Port bottle shop: Poured a clear golden honey color with a firm standing of film for a head. In the nose, a zesty aroma of spices and citrus peel shavings of some kind. The flavor gives off a strong taste of spices such as coriander, pepper and lemon peel shavings but the flavor is also backed by a heavier serving of malts unlike most other white ales.

[bottle] Oranges dominate the nose with some sour wheat and coriander. Hazy bronze covered by thin white. Almost artificial, refreshing orange flavour with some wheat sourness and bitterness and a coriander note. Slightly more sourness would make this very refreshing, inviting beer. Herbal wheat sour finish, medium carbonation, light to medium body.

Pours a muddled yellow into the glass with a nice white head. Aroma is orange sweetness. Flavor reminds me of orange tang; an artificial orange flavor dominates the profile. Not bad but would not buy again.

On tap at the brewery. A very typical beer of the style. My problem was the coriander, it was so strong, it tasted like cloves.
