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.

Pours a foggy amber colour with a giant overflowing white head. The head sticks around until the end. nice retention and a sticky lacing residue left on the glass. Tastes of carmel, lightly roasted malts and a hint of cotton candy. Wicked nice!

Great copper/ golden brown color. When poured with a head you get a nice aroma of citrus and spice. Very refreshing drink that goes down easily. Paired nice with Chilean sea bass dish.

750ml bottle. Batch # 15. Copper color with a one fingered head. Aroma is wildflower honey, citrus, candi sugar, and light spice. Silky body. Initial flavor is malt sweetness, black pepper, moderate spice, citrus,and light fruits (apples/pears). Finish is nicely balanced with lingering spice & light fruits along with some warming alcohol.

This, out of the dubbel, trippel and white, I like the best out of this lineup. Nice and sweet, light yeast, and the apple hints are nice. Nice bite on the tongue as well, good balance of the carbonation, not too much, but helps make the drink refreshing. Color and glass display are much like everybody else describes...

Red beer with a belgian froth to it. Had a few when tasting so my taste was a bit biased but very good. Fruit and belgian yeast on the nose. Clean and a bit heavy but very drinkable.
