Allagash Grand Cru

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.

Hazy amber, citrus, spice, yeasty, caramel, malty, licorice, fruity, dry finish.

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

Draft at the Comet. Pours a hazy light gold in color. Very nice two inches of head on top of the beer. Smell is citrus fruits, yeast and a bit of spice. Taste is even more of the citrusy and light fruits. Very smooth and easy drinking. Well balanced and enjoyable.

A very tasty ale with notes of orange marmalade, currant and pepper. Not life-changing, but very good and satisfying overall. Recommended.

Bottle from total wine. I like the Allagash family of beers, this one is no exception. Amber pour with a nose of spices, sweet citrus, and yeast. Flavor is very nice. Malty, fruity, spicy and some candy sugar/caramel. Nice!!

Pours a pinkish amber with white head. Aroma is VERY grapefruit forward, especially when cold. Malts appear as the beer warms. Flavor, however, is fruit and yeast. Typical Belgian. Very nice.

Corked and caged big boy, wanna say I bought this in late 2005 or early 2006 (and it’s now Nov 08). Batch #12. Very spicy nose, lemon with orange peel and just a touch of cleaner, with smooth refined coriander undulating and carrying the malt to shore. Hazy orange with amber highlights, dark with a noisy beige head. Taste is extremely spicy with a nice, thick, rich fruity malt base, citrus on top of caramel and - yes! - butterscotch in droves. A bit estery with a nice chalky yeast finish and a reasonably dry finish. Has the body of this alcohol content without the bite. Lasting, gentle prickling from top-to-bottom carbonation. Balanced, restrained, and very pleasurable.
