Allagash White if you want bright citrus and a snappy finish,
Fiddlehead White if you want a rounder, slightly fuller mouthfeel.
Both are true witbiers at nearly identical strength and bitterness, so you're really choosing between two interpretations of the style. Allagash leans into the Belgian playbook with more coriander pop and orange zest; Fiddlehead feels a touch more restrained, letting the wheat and yeast character breathe. Neither will disappoint—it's about whether you want a beer that talks or one that whispers.

Tasting notes
Allagash White
Allagash White is immediately aromatic—coriander and orange peel hit your nose before the glass touches your lips. On the palate, it's crisp and effervescent, with that characteristic wheat beer softness but with real backbone from the spice blend. The finish is clean and slightly dry, almost mineral. It's a beer that demands attention; every sip feels intentional.
Fiddlehead White
Fiddlehead White is more understated, which is actually its strength. The nose is subtler—more pale ale-like, less spice-forward. The wheat creates a silky texture that coats your mouth pleasantly, and there's a gentle sweetness that suggests Belgian yeast doing its thing quietly in the background. It finishes dry but not sharp, leaving you wanting another sip rather than needing one.
