Alaskan White 6-Pk

Description

Alaskan White Ale is based on a Belgian-style witbier, literally translated to white beer. White beers, or witbieren, are named for the suspended wheat proteins creating a cloudy appearance in this unfiltered beer. 5.3% ABVFlavorAlaskan White Ale has a soft, slightly sweet base with the unique spice aroma of coriander and crisp, citrus finish of orange peel. A light and effervescent body combined with the smooth palate creates a complex and delicate beer that is deliciously refreshing in any season.The crisp flavor of Alaskan White Ale pairs well with spicy foods and lighter fare including fresh salads and grilled shrimp or halibut.HistoryPopular in late 18th century Belgium before the universal use of hops as a bittering agent, Witbieren were traditionally flavored with coriander, citrus and a secret spice known only to the brewer. Alaskan Brewing recreates this historic style with Alaskan White Ale.The Story Behind the LabelPolar bears are native to the Arctic Ocean and can be found traversing through the snow, ice and open waters along the northern coastlines of Alaska. Although closely related to the brown bears of Alaska, the polar bear is classified as a marine mammal adapted to the icy climate of the Arctic. Alaskan White Ale toasts this extraordinary bear and its place at the top of the world.Awards2011Los Angeles County FairBronze Herb and Spice BeerDenver International Beer CompetitionBronze Witbiers2010Great Arizona Beer Festival AwardsThird Best of Festival2009European Beer Star AwardsSilver Herb and Spice BeerUS Open Beer ChampionshipSilver Belgian WitbierWest Coast Brew FestBronze Wheat Beer
