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.

The color is dark orange with a thick beige head. The aroma is of spicies and also sweet. The taste is a blending of sweet fruits like pears and oranges,spicies and hops. This was my first Allagash but not my last.

Pours a slightly hazy burnt orange with a lasting white head. Aroma of gingerbread, honey, caramel, vanilla, with some peppery spice and slight yeast funk. As it warms, licorice and burnt sugar (or something) start to appear. Tastes of honey, vanilla, toast, raisins, pears, slight amounts of ginger. Finishes quite earthy with a surprising amount of hop flavor. Slight flourishes of nutmeg and cinnemon, moreso in the finish. Very creamy and slightly slick, medium bodied and totally drinkable. Good!

Cherry/golden with nice head and decent lacing. Oaky, sour qualties characterize this brew, with a healthy dose of fruity hops and funky yeast. This beer has a quality that is similar to those that are aged in oak casks, while still having a lighter(watery) component. A nice brew for sure.

I was quite looking forward to this, it was my first Allagash. Gorgeous hazy orange with a small light head. Smelled very nice, oranges, spices, but was sweeter than I would have liked it. Good, I’d like to have again, but will try more of their others first.

Pours a hazy orange-amber with a light head. Nice aroma of spices and citrus. Sweet, not much bitterness, quite carbonated. Good stuff.

750 mL bottle. Translucent copper-orange-brown with a nice sticky head. Aroma is wet hay, spice (coriander?), and sweet citrus. The taste is sweet. There is a good malt base, but sweet orange makes a strong case for itself, as do spice and alcohol. No hops to speak of. Full bodied and perfectly carbonated. A little sweet, but I like this one.
