| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Oct 26, 2009 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.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/20 | Dec 3, 2009 Just nothing here to write home about. Straw colored pour with a fizzy white head that disappears instantly. Aroma is lemon peel. Flavor is citrusy but without the depth and spice of good witbiers. thirdeye11 (535), Texas, USA

Nose of alcohol, cloves, and spices. Taste is wheat, spicy, a little syrupy with a dry finish. rayg1 (437), Ft. Mill, South Carolina, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 20, 2009 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. DJMonarch (6845), Northwich, Cheshire, England

Some spiced aroma. Golden coloured with a spicy clove flavour. Crisp fruity and slightly dry in the finish. HarvestrOfBeer (13), , Washington, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Nov 16, 2009 Decent, but uninspiring witbier. Dull gold pour, slightly cloudy, thin head. Some aroma and depth, but mostly malt and a touch of spice. gator2683 (140), Anchorage, Alaska, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 14, 2009 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.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 14, 2009 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.
