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.

2007 version. Coppery amber color with a slight head. Smells very sweet with a tad bit of tartness. Some yeast up front, but not overpowering, followed by some pepper spice and a thin hop finish.

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.

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.
