Allagash White

26 Feb

Name - Allagash White
Country - United States
Type - White Ale

Appearance - Poured a very hazy straw gold color with a nice white head that laced the glass pretty well.  You can see the yeast floating around in this.

Smell - Combinations of yeast and orange stick out in the smell.

Taste - Pretty much right on with the smell nice orange taste with a wheat/yeast hint to it.

This was a really good all around white ale.  Not to yeasty or overboard with the citrus flavors.  Just right on all of those.  This will definitely be a good one to have during the hot summer.

Overall Grade – A-

Blanche De Chambly

23 Jan

Name - Blanche De Chambly
Country - Canada
Type - Witebier (White/Wheat)

Appearance - After pouring this in approved manner that the bottle states the color was a cloudy straw yellow with a frothy white head.

Smell - Beautiful mix of spices and citrus.  I could pick up lemon and orange peel.

Taste - The taste is pretty much the same as the smell with the spices and citrus notes.

My fellow beer blogger Danno has been recommending this one to me for quite some time and I finally remembered when I was at the store and saw it.  I really enjoyed this one and it is definitely one of the better white ales out there.   Just like most whites it would be perfect on a hot summer day, oddly it has been quite cold here in south Florida as of late but I didn’t let that stop me from enjoying it.

Overall Grade – B+
