COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Allagash Grand Cru is deep golden in color, and has a firm yet refined malty palate. Taste and aroma have suggestions of smoke and licorice, with subtle hints of fruit and spice. An excellent beer to enjoy during the cooler seasons.

GT2 (3440) - Washington DC, USA - JAN 16, 2009
330 mL into Orval trappist. Pours a bright, cloudy orange with a thin white head that thins out to almost nothing leaving modest lacing. Aromas of yeast, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, orange peel- very musty. Taste is dry and tart with a metallic tinge. Very herbal. Aftertaste is dry and metallic. Sort of a disappointment.

Jsawyer (297) - Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 9, 2009
On tap. Hazy gold body with a creamy white head. Aroma was fruity esters, notably apple, spicy, and alcohol. Flavor is fruity apple, lemon, citric esters, yeasty, and pleasant sweet dry finish. Found it to be much like a sparkling white wine. Good but Allagash has better.

ScottB (73) - Bristow, Virginia, USA - JAN 3, 2009
Pours a hazy amber with a rapidly dissipating beige head. Sweet candiy nose. Drier in the mouth than I expected. Hints of dark fruit and candy are complimented well by a nice bitterness. Long slightly sweet finish.

Draft at Tabla. A reddish brown w/medium head. Smel is sweet. Some fruit spice and caramel - a very good beer.

JaBier (2999) - Capital City, Ohio, USA - DEC 20, 2008
2007 version. Coppery amber color with a slight head. Smells very sweet with a tad bit of tartness. Some yeast up front, but not overpowering, followed by some pepper spice and a thin hop finish.

AgentSteve (1585) - SF Bay Area, California, USA - DEC 15, 2008
Pours hazy chestnut with a thin tan head. The nose was solid with dried fruit, spice and caramel. The flavor was the same but a bit bland. Definitely not the best Allagash has to offer, so should not be their Grand Cru.

On cask. Increadibly smooth, satisfying, drinkable. Rare stronger beer that I could drink in high quantities.
