    Slightly hazy gold color with long lasting small white head. The aroma is really faint. I can pick up a bit of sweetness, banana and cloves I think. The first sip was a barrage of flavors and spice. A couple sips in and the flavor smoothes out like a freshly ironed silk shirt. Its almost too smooth to identify the flavors. It starts off rather neutral. Then there’s a wheat note followed by some tartness. About midway the spices kick in along with a pinch of sweetness. Very nice smooth tasting beer.

    Been waiting to taste this high percentile witbier, this is one of my favorite styles. I love it when the label has the hypnotizing pour method and directions. Great appearance in a big clear glass. A little more hay colored than many witbiers. Aroma is a little sour in this short stubby twist off bottle. Initially the smell is a little musty.but once poured In the glass the aroma clears and is more volatile. Good creamy microbubble fizz. Flavor is thoroughly enjoyable. Very little if any bitterness in this brew. As you drink a mild impression marks it’s spot on the back of the throat that I hesitate to call bitter. Perhaps just a little malt bite, I don’t know. Good flavor for a witbier above 5% hides the alky well. Overall, just a plain good example of this enjoyable style, simply great. Certainly one of the better wheatbeers in my repertoire. Certainly as good as Pax and Ommegang. Not quite on par with East End wit and Hoegaarden. Better than sammy adams wit.

    Small white head, dissapates quickly. Hazy gold with a white hue. Malt nose with citrus and cloves. Light/medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Spicey, malty flavors, some breadyness and more citrus flavors also. Finish is medium dry. Nice Wit!

    Allagash is one of those breweries that doesn’t brew to style, but rather interprets them as they see fit. Loved by most, but not by me. The beer pours a cloudy pale yellow with a thick creamy off-white cap. The aroma is wheat, coriander, cloves, and banana. Again, typical for the style. Mouthfeel is average. Flavor is more spice forward than a typical witbier, and in this case, that’s a good thing.

    A nice drinkable Wit. Not overbearing. Flavor balance of sour, spice, fruit a little wheat/ nice. Refreshing in the usual Wit style. Very pale yellow pour with a thin head the quickly fades, I will have to try more to see if this is standard.

    Purchased a single bottle on my trip to Maine. Pours a hazy golden colour with a long lasting, creamy white head. Yeasty Belgian Ale nose with mild orange. The taste has a little more bite, but the spices are still too light. Slightly creamy, wet mouthfeel. A nice refreshing witbier.

    I had this beer at the Beer Bar on 45th and Vanderbilt in New York City. I have put this beer off forever as I am not a huge fan of the style. It was time to give this very hyped beer a try. This may be my favorite American Wit I have ever had. Well done Allagash.
