Ingredients
Can and glassware
Serve Allagash Portland (White Maine 16 oz can)
1. Chill the beer
Refrigerate the can until it reaches 38–45°F (3–7°C). If you need it cold quickly, wrap the can in a damp paper towel and place it in the freezer for 10–15 minutes. Avoid leaving it in the freezer longer or it may freeze and burst.
2. Prepare glass
Use a clean pint or tulip glass. Rinse the glass briefly with cold water and pour out the rinse; this helps the beer form a proper head and keeps it from foaming excessively.
3. Open and pour
Open the 16 oz can by pulling the tab. Hold the glass at a 45° angle and begin pouring slowly, aiming for the middle of the side of the glass. When the glass is about half full, tilt it upright and continue pouring down the center to develop a 1/2 to 1 inch (1–2 cm) head. Pour gently to avoid excessive foaming.
4. Garnish (optional)
If desired, slip an orange slice onto the rim or express a thin orange twist over the beer to release citrus oils and drop it in. Allagash White is lightly spiced and can be complemented by a hint of orange.
5. Serve
Serve immediately at 38–45°F (3–7°C). Sip and enjoy the beer's aromatic coriander and orange peel notes along with a soft wheat body.
