Allagash White (56.8cl, 5.2%)

A Belgian-style witbier brewed in Portland, Maine, by Allagash Brewing Company. The grain bill includes two-row malted barley, pale malt, red wheat malt, raw white wheat, oats and Carapils, with Nugget, Crystal and Czech Saaz hops. Coriander and Curaçao orange peel add traditional Belgian spice character, and the beer is naturally conditioned with live yeast. Coriander leads the aroma, followed by bitter orange peel, ripe banana and soft malted wheat. The palate has peppery spice, off-dry fruit, white floral freshness, clove, coriander, fuller creamy texture from raw wheat and oats, and hints of pineapple. The finish is clean citrus and mild herbal notes with minimal bitterness.
