Allagash White

◎ Appearance

Allagash White presents a pale, hazy golden complexion characteristic of the witbier style, with excellent clarity despite suspended wheat proteins and yeast. A thick, creamy white head forms generously and persists throughout the drinking experience. Fine carbonation creates an effervescent quality that enhances the visual appeal.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and orange peel aromatics, complemented by subtle coriander and herbal spice notes. Belgian yeast character contributes delicate banana and clove esters that add complexity without overwhelming the more delicate grain aromas. The overall bouquet is inviting and fresh, with noticeable wheat grain undertones.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and refreshing with prominent citrus and wheat flavors that define the entry. Mid-palate reveals smooth orange peel and coriander contributions, layered with subtle banana yeast character and light herbal notes. Low bitterness (17 IBU) allows the spice and citrus to shine, finishing clean without any harsh edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry with excellent drinkability, leaving a subtle lingering citrus and herbal impression. No astringency or cloying sweetness remains—only a bright, refreshing aftertaste that invites another sip.

Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.

The tall, slender wheat beer glass holds the full 50cl pour and shows off the hazy golden colour. The wide mouth lets citrus and spice aromas drift upward freely.
