Allagash White, a Belgian-style wheat beer crafted in Portland, Maine, is a refreshing and complex ale inspired by traditional Belgian witbiers. Brewed with a blend of malted wheat, coriander, and Curaçao orange peel, it showcases a delicate balance of citrus zest and subtle spice. The pale, hazy hue and fine carbonation provide an appealing, cloud-like appearance, evoking the lightness of its flavors.
Upon tasting, Allagash White offers a lively citrus character with a gentle hint of spice from the coriander, blending with soft, bready wheat undertones for a well-rounded profile. The orange peel adds a fresh, zesty finish that complements the mild bitterness, making each sip both crisp and smooth. Its light body and 5.2% ABV make it an ideal choice for those seeking a refreshing, yet flavorful, beer that is easy to enjoy without overwhelming the palate.
Allagash White is best served chilled in a wide, tulip-shaped glass that enhances its aromatic profile, though its 4-pack of cans also makes it convenient for enjoying outdoors or on the go. The natural flavors are well-suited for pairing with light, fresh dishes like seafood, salads, or goat cheese, allowing the beer’s subtle spice and citrus notes to shine through.
