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.

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.

Lightly hazed, light golden liquid. Tallish off-white head that is rather stable. Big orange peel and coriander aromas. JUst a hint of pale malt in the background. Head has settled to an tin dense lid and some lace. Light fruit in the start with a bit of peach. Citrus works its way into the middle. Some light honey and herbal qualities in the finish. Linger is fairly dry. with some dry weeds and spice. Not enough wheat/malt presence for me in this one.

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.

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 from BevMo. Hazy golden color with a slight white head. Light spice aroma. Sort of medium bodied. Rather malty for a wit. Not exactly exciting. Drinkable. Might grow on me.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle from internet sale through Malt and Vine in Washington. Pours a clear golden amber colored brew with an average sized off-white head that slowly dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of corinader, golden grain malt with a hint o fruit and orange peel. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, some wheat, coriander, orange zest and a touch of yeast. Finish is crisp, clean cut with some light orange peel aftertaste.
