Bottle, cheers to deeblo for the pour! 6.9% edition. The pour’s a hazy amber orange color with a small head. The aroma’s sweet mashed pumpkin. Plenty of allspice, caramel, mild cat piss and funky attic. The taste is lacto, mineral, soft pumpkin fruitiness with accents of ginger and cinnamon. Sharp acidity in the finish. Big profile for a sour. Sort of ragged. Overall, pretty decent.

Bottle courtesy of CFrances... This thing is an enigma. Huge mollases flavors dominate but a nice souring and toastyness are present as well. A mishmash of flavors that shouldnt work but somehow do. I liked it.

The taste is tart apricot, tangerine, white grape, sour pumpkin, saltiness, mild acidity, wood, earth, faint mustiness, subtle vanilla and touch of alcohol warmth with a dry, tart finish.

Shared by Thorpe429 alongside several other Allagash sour/wild ales. Thank you very much, Mike!
The beer appears orange with a mild haze and a small, fizzy head. The aroma brings wild yeast, tart apples, oak. Nice flavor, though I couldn’t pick out any pumpkin or squash character. Lactic finish with mild acidity. A bit of pucker. Fairly light in body and easy to drink. Another tasty wild ale from Allagash.
