Oct 30, 2009 On tap at the Bavarian Lodge, Lisle, IL. and served in a short stemmed, globe glass, a lightly hazed, orangy hue, with a finger width of off white foam, and clingy, curtainy lacing. The aroma was fresh, light citrus, negligible yeast, just a hint of pine, and mid-toned fruit as apricot and peach. The flavor was a nice blend of the fruit, hop bitterness and smooth malt. Warming alcohol and subtle dryness capped off the experience. An excellent, well balanced brew as a comingling of Belgian and American styles.

Oct 10, 2009 On tap during the annual Boston/Salem/Marble head tour. Sampled at the Sunset grill.
Hazy pour with notes of caramel and yeast. Cany, hoppy and bread taste. A good brew.

Sep 14, 2009 On tap at the maproom. Pours a peach color with a big white dense froth. Aroma is somewhat peachy and quite floral. Flavor is a bit sugary, yeasty, decent bitterness, sweet peach. This was fairly good, just not entirely interesting.

Sep 12, 2009 This corked and caged bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized off-white colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a transparent typically carbonated orange colored body and a thick foamy lacing. The mild aroma was orange peel and mild hop. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a mellow hoppy aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of malt hops well hidden vinousness and orange peel. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.

Sep 11, 2009 Hoppy for a Belgian. I had this at Great Lost Bear in Portland. I find the beers of Allagash are unique.

Sep 5, 2009 The first smell is a little phenolic and medicinal. The head is creamy looking, beer is reddish and cloudy in color with lots of carbonation streaming towards the top of the chalice, the taste is odd and slightly harsh. My novice palate cannot seem to detect a hint of the simcoes used in this beer or any hops for that matter. Once, this beer starts to approach room temperature it gets much better. The beer starts to exhibit hoppy qualities (contradicting my previous statements) and is actually pretty good but I still don’t know how my amateur palate feels about this Belgian IPA thing. I probably wouldn’t buy this again but I will try other Allagash beers since this was my first. I think I got a really good deal because this only cost me $8.99 and I think it is supposed to retail for around $15.
