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.

This was a very nice, fruity ale that went wonderfully with my dinner of chicken and sesame-peanut noodles. Yum. Amber with a nice subdued fruity/spicy/yeasty aroma and flavor- it was very, how shall I say (I hate to use the phrase) "drinkable". Anyway, good and recommended, though not exactly exciting.

750 ml bottle. Christmas gift from my sister. Light brown with a rich beige head. Spices, cloves, roasted malts, faint notes of citric fruit. Yeasty and fairly spicy flavour of cinnamon, brown sugar, baked apples, orange-peels with quite dry and yeasty aftertaste, of nuts, bubblegum and banana. Finishes yeasty and orangey with spicy aftertaste of all spice and brown sugar... Nice beer Maria!

Beautiful beer. Long-lasting aftertaste full of buttery-spicey goodness. Allagash has once again made an entirely drinkable yet complex and challenging beer.

Cloudy orange-juice tinged amber pour, with a clean fomay banana colored head. Light sweet malt aroma and a touch of gentle light peach and almond fruitiness. Flavor is a warming light spicy maltness. Touch of banana and pear, lighted with some smooth toothy grain with copious clean sweet sugar. Some bright effervescence and a good deal of lemon. Plenty of candy notes. Palate is a hint parching, but finish with clean sweetness, like a fresh glass of lemonade. Not noting much spice. Drinkable, but not astounding.

Deep red with a thick and lasting white head. Fruity aroma with a hint of coriander. Flavor has sweet apples, tangy oranges, and plenty of spices. Citrus flavor lingers. Very carbonated.

Fresh off my own keg! Poured a nice frothy thick head. The aroma was somewhat sweet but lacked any real strength.A hazy copper color looked inticing. Friuty taste with a smoooth aftertaste, not quite the norm as spices go, there is a hint but it is not prevelent.
