Our interpretation of a traditional Belgian wheat beer. Brewed with a generous portion of wheat and spiced with coriander and Curacao orange peel, this beer is fruity, refreshing and slightly cloudy in appearance.

Not sure how this happened, but I found 3 bottles @ wegmans in the mix & match section... when allagash pulled out of upstate years ago.
The beer is a cloudy honey yellow with ample effervescence and lacing. It smells like fruit and honey, absolutely decadent. The taste is no different, with a wheat sweetness and yeast fruit character pulling this beer up to world class witbier status. This is definitely not gluten free. There is nothing strange or unexpected with the mouthfeel compared to how well the beer has done thus far. Honey and citrus fruits predominate my palate. Overall this was an incredible find and I'm glad to have grabbed a few to both cook with and sip on. It's definitely well received by those helping me drink it.

12 oz bottle pkgd 12/11/23 into a nonic glass.
L: SRM 1 Pours a white hued yeasty straw pear color with a rocky & fluffy 1/2" bright white head that has excellent retention, fine steady carbo bubbles, very good thick lacing with large rhythmic banding lines and some backside sheeting.
S: Banana, wheat, yeast, light spice, white grape, very distant new leather.
T: Banana, pear, light clove, gentle sweet malts, lemon zest, a touch of powdered sugar, distant apple, wheat, yeast.
F: Gently brisk lightly bodied plush mouthfeel with a semi-juicy middle and a smooth lightly drying finish.
O: This beer drinks like a fluffy cloud with an amazingly soft mouthfeel. Lovely fruity aroma and succulent taste. Very refreshing and similar to Belgian-made beers. I would buy this again. It is outstanding in its style.

Great Belgian White for a domestic and ABV is not high but well restrained.

12 ounce bottle, thanks to Brutaltruth for this! Served in a Teku, the beer pours a slightly hazy pale gold color with about an inch frothy white head. Head retention and lacing are both pretty good. I like the aroma, the brew smells like coriander, orange peel, wheat/grainy malt and some bubblegum. Taste is pretty much just like the aroma, but with the addition of some banana. No one flavor overpowers the others. Mouthfeel/body is light, it's smooth and has a good amount of soft zippy carbonation. Refreshing and easy to drink! Thought this was a good overall brew, definitely worth trying!
