Poured from a bottle to a pint glass.

Had a thick, foamy head; golden, hazy wheat color; moderate carbonation

Aroma was mostly spices; also sensed some wheat and orange when drinking

Taste was well-balanced; mostly wheat, but slightly hoppy finish; sweetness was similar to honey; found more oranges and hints of spice - coriander, nutmeg

Mouthfeel was refreshing and bubbly; left a taste of orange peel in the mouth

Overall, a crisp, satisfying beer. Great for a warm summer night, but flavors are warm and earthy enough to enjoy year-round.

I want to say that I had high expectations for this beer. After searching for it for months, I was a bit let down. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but it just didn't do it for me the way I thought it would. Personally, I like a wheat beer that packs a BIG citrus punch. But I guess that's why we're all on here.

Anyway, I'd still recommend as a solid witbier, and looking forward to trying some more beers from Allagash.

Big thanks to celticfutblclub for this bottle...

A: Pours a cloudy lemon yellow with one full finger of pure white head. The foam settles fairly quickly, leaving a light frothy ring along the edges of the glass.

S: The nose is sweet, a touch spicy, and with mild citrus. I get banana, lemon, lime, bubblegum, clove, and light pepper. Smells super inviting.

T: This beer starts out sweet with a nice mild malt bill and some bananas and a touch of citrus. As the beer moves to the middle, I get some spice and bubblegum. The finish is effervescent with clove, yeast, and banana.

M: Light bodied beer. The flavors are bright and refreshing as they envelop the palate. Mild spice in the middle, but a great balance throughout. Clean finish.

O: Excellent witbier. It's up there with Dancing Man Wheat. I could drink a ton of this on a hot summer day.
