Allagash White

Brewed by Allagash Brewing Company
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Portland, Maine USA

Draught at Pub in Ida Noyes. Hazy yellow with thick white head. Looks like lemon meringue pie. Aroma is lemony, wheat and spice. Taste is citrusy (not artificial tasting) wheat beer, some spice (coriander and clove). Mouthfeel is a bit thin and the beer just needs a little something more at the end. However, a very good example of one of my least favorite styles.

Hoegaarden glass. Hazy straw color with small head. Aroma of lemon/citrus wheat and spice. Taste is similar. Spicy and sour finish.

very nice white beer, pours cloudy and light yellow with a decent head, good yeasty aroma with a hint of spice, flavor is standard wheat beer with spicy notes, very mellow hop notes makes this beer a nice summer refresher

Pours a cloudy light gold color with a smallish white head. Smells of wheat, some spice, yeast, and a little sweet cinnamon in there too. Quite pleasant. The flavor is very crisp and refreshing. Good spice and wheat characters. A little orange peel, coriander, and cinnamon spice round out the flavors. This is an excellent rendition of a Belgian wit in my opinion. Full flavored, crisp, refreshing, with good body to it. Well done.

Draft @ redlight redlight. Spicy nose, corriander, wheaty, somewhat sweet aroma with hints of citrus. Pours cloudy yellow with a thick white head. Sweet citrus up front, spicy corriander, yeasty flavors, very wheaty, very refreshing. Excellent wit.

Yay. Actually got this in my home town little bitty beer store. Very white color. Great aroma. Full of clove, coriander, orange and even some cinnamon. The flavor is warm and balanced with great wheat flavors backed up by the spices promised in the nose. The body is medium to light, but shouldn’t it be? Its a damn Witbier. Get down off your horse and all that.

Nice yellow beer, with a hint of orange coloring. There is not much head to speak of. The head quickly fades away. Average looking beer. Bananas, yeast, a some clove are in the aroma. It is not overly pungent. The smell is decent. There is nice lacing that accompanies the beer. The beer is nice and smooth. Very rich, a nice palate. The flavor is not great. There is not much to this flavor. Subtle ctirus, banana, and yeast flavor. Just a bland flavor if you ask me. The flavors don’t jump out at me that much. The commercial Witbiers seem to have a better taste. This beer is very middle of the road. Smells sweeter than it tastes. The beer could use some tweeking on the flavor, but other than that a decent beer.

Big fruity floral citrus aroma with orange peel and corainder. Tatse is very big on the spices. Light bitterness, nice big fluffy head every pour. Beautiful cloudy orange body. Very nice.
