Brewery: Alaskan Brewing
Location: Juneau, AK
Beer Name: White Ale
Style: Belgian-Style Witbier
ABV: 5.3%
IBU: 15
The beer was poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours a pale golden yellow with a little head retention and sparse lacing. The aroma speaks of lightly spiced coriander, lemons and wheat. The flavor has a slightly dank earthy wheat taste with very small hints of coriander, cloves, pepper, and citrus. The body is medium and creamy with a good level of carbonation that lends crispness to the beer.
Overall an average Begian-Style witbier. The whole beer was a little subdued for my liking. Nothing really jumped out on the nose. Seemed too dark and not enough haze for my preference. It could use a little more coriander and citrus to counter the earthy sweetness of the wheat and other malts. I like a bigger spice character to my Witbier. Was expecting more Belgian yeast spice. Really liked the polar bear label tho. Perhaps would have been better enjoyed on a much warmer day, but coming from Alaska this probably was a comparably hot day.
