Feb 6, 2010 Bottle. Pours a cloudy light orange color with some feisty bubbles and a huge bright white head. Head is rocky, foamy and slow to recede but leaves sporadic lacing. Nose is a spicy, floral hop note with a light toasted biscuit note. Some light coriander type spiciness is noted. Palate is full and very flavorful with some spicey tongue notes and a light pepper feel in the throat. Flavors of pepper and flowers, with a nice bite, a light biscuit note that is overwhelmed by the bitter hop notes. Finishes with a bitterness and a stinging tongue.

Feb 3, 2010 Overall not quite as good as i have come to expect from allagash. way too malty and not the flavor from a Belgian that Ive come to expect. Im not sure if the combo Belgian/IPA is really a good idea. The ones I have tried loike this, just dont work on the same level. Its an interesting idea in theory but not great in practice.

Jan 23, 2010 (bottle - corked & caged 750 ml) Cloudy orange pour with a mountain of fluffy white foam. Aroma is light but very malty. Some caramel and biscuit notes come through near the end. Flavor is a pretty standard Belgian taste. Some mild spice with some caramel and biscuit malts and some sweetness and yeast near the end. Some bitterness comes through at the end and leaves a crisp, fruity taste. Very heavily carbonated.

Jan 19, 2010 On tap at Coasters. Belgian Strong Ale? This tasted nothing like one to me. At any rate, the pour is golden orange with a thin white head. Aroma of fresh cut grass and pineapple. Juicy tangerine, pineapple, and a hint of grapefruit flavor. Medium bodied. Maybe it’s the simcoe hops but this really borders on tasting much more like a DIPA than a Belgian Strong. The only difference is that the hops are much, much more citrusy than bitter which makes for an outstanding beer. Don’t know how this translates to a bottle versus a keg but on tap this is great.

Jan 16, 2010 On tap at Blind Lady. Pours a hazy orange with a small foamy white head. Aroma has a lot of hops, with malt, and pine notes. Taste becomes increasingly bitter, with pine hops, grass, wood, and malt. Lingering bitterness. Nice.

Jan 12, 2010 Nice Belgian IPA! Not as clovey as Stone’s, nor as sweet as GF’s. Pours a hazy golden with some white head. Strong hop aroma, with grassy and piney notes. Finishes clean.

Jan 9, 2010 Either this bottle was old or the hops were lightly used. The beer I had was a lovely Belgian golden with some slight citrus notes and a cheek warming amount of alcohol. Pours a golden orange with a thin head that quickly recedes.

Dec 31, 2009 750 ml bottle. Poured a hazed orange body with an average sized white foamy head. Aroma was loaded with lots of green apple, white grapes, barrel notes, candi sugar, vinuous notes. Body is suprisingly full with lots of carbonation. Flavor of grapes, green apples, barrel wood, apple skins, dried fruit, and older hops. Nice stuff and worth a drink but is it worth the Allagash price tag.....sorry don’t think so for this one.
