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.

Pours a light hazy yellow with a small white head. Tons of carbonation, a litle bit of lacing around the edges. Aroma is banana and lemon peel. The taste is artificial banana, with some lemon peel and spices. I’m not a fan. The banana taste bothers me. It’s easy to drink but not very good.

Pours a lightly hazed golden color with a towering, fluffed platinum blond head. Decent little fingers of lace. Nice spicy, yeasty, slightly alcoholic nose. Body’s light, and the carbonation really is sparkling enough to give it a bit of crispness. Truth in packaging! Phew. Spicy, yeasty, slightly corny mid-palate. Mild yeasty finish.

Pours a hazy amber with a white head. Smells of coriander and ginger. Tastes of sweet wheat, spicy, citrus, coriander, some sweetness on the finish.

22oz. Bottle. This pours a golden yellow with a white head. Nose is slightly earthy, citrus zesty. It’s taste is wheat, yeast, citrus and earthy. A very light bitter finish. Not the beer many people claimed it to be and that might be why I rated this way but it could be because it is not the best witbier.
