12oz bottle poured into a Delirium Tremens tulip

A - This is my first Allagash beer and was quite excited to finally try something from them. Pours a very pale yellow, straw color and grows a 1.5 finger head. Head lasts for a few minutes then reduces to a pool of foam. Little lacing. Body is cloudy and can see a little carbonation rising from the bottom.

S - Nose is faint but can get some spice and peppery cloves, coriander, orange, and a tad of banana. Smells of a hybrid between a Witbier and a Belgian Pale and is quite crisp. Enticing.

T - Initial taste is spice. Get some hints of honey and orange and some lemon zest at the back end. Coriander follows and some citrus lingers afterward. No taste of alcohol. Overall very crisp and refreshing. Dry finish.

M - Mouthfeel is light-bodied and refreshing. Good carbonation and that combined with the dry, spicy finish mixes well to make it easy to drink.

D- Drinkability is high. The flavor sticks around and each sip is as good as the previous. Crisp, dry, vibrant flavors and ample carbonation help drive the senses and this was a great first start into the Allagash lineup.

This is the lemonade of beer.
The appearance is very pale yellow.
The aroma is citric.
The taste is essentially lemonade with a splash of beer.
The mouthfeel is fairly carbonated but smooth, a little watery.
Overall, I thought this beer was the most refreshing I've had and is perfect for summer.

Serving type: on-tap

S: Wheat and biscuit malt aroma.

T: Tart Belgian wheat biscuit and bread flavor.

M: Medium body and medium carbonation.

O: Decent wheat beer – no my favorite style but worth a try.
