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.

Very fruity flavor with definate hints of corriander. There is a bread like flavor due to the bottle conditioing. Very tasty beer, and one I will be enjoying again.

Orange/amber color with a small white head. Spicy aroma with hints of coriander and yeast. Flavor is spicy(coriander, nutmeg?) and fruity(honeydew melon) with a bit of bread and citrus.

Very drinkable belgian style ale. This beer is malty with belgian yeast character, mild hops, and very subtle spice. Balanced. Good.

Silky and smooth, this cloudy maize colored brew sports a heavily honey-influenced flavor with light fruity notes. Hops character is subdued with the honey sweetness taking the starring role. Even tastle profile with not much change from the beginning to the end of the swallow. Good lacing seals this beer’s place in the winners circle. The only aspect I did not care for was the overly soft carbonation profile.

Hazy orangish brown color with a medium off white head. Spicy nutmeg, orange zest and malt aroma. Nice mild nutmeg, orange zest, malt and hops flavors. Lightly dry hops finish.

Very attractive appearing brew, pouring medium copper color with a nicely retained tan colored head. Aroma is rather enigmatic. Lightly estery with black licorice, yeast ans light spices. Flavor has more licorice and a bit of light fruitiness like pears. The resounding quality of this beer is a mouthfeel that resembles the finest silk with cream. Absolutely perfect palate.

Another immensely drinkable Belgian style offering from Allagash. Cloudy orange/brown colour. It’s a big beer, but not over the top. Quite hoppy and spicy, with some residual sweetness. On tap at the Founders, Alexandria.
