Jun 14, 2008 a very cloudy dark gold/orange beer under a large creamy white head. very hoppy aroma of sweet mandarin orange. very balanced hoppy flavor with a lot of earthy, bready malts. dry, grassy, herbal finish from dry hopping. pleasant.

Jun 8, 2008 750ml bottle-pours a with a champagne pop then foamy to rocky off white head and copper color. Aroma is some pine/floral hops, secondary medium malt. Taste is pine/earthy hops, sour, yeast, medium malt. Thanks jwc215 [@BA] for sharing.

Jun 6, 2008 This is a good beer but why is Allagash doing a flipin IPA at $15 a bottle. I know a portion goes to a good cause, but come on. Aroma is lacking the intense dry hop aroma it clams to have. The hop flavor and bitterness come through well. English malt aroma and flavor with balanced hop profile. Not much Belgian yeast profile. I love Allagash but get the Tripel for half the price, and get much better beer.

Jun 5, 2008 (n) Belgian yeast, english malts, and an assload of simcoe hops? Interesting one from allagash. Pours a thick hazy copper color, smallish head, but plenty of active carbonation going on. Smells of muted candy sugar and some lingering spicy bitterness. Tastes more balanced and complex than the nose would suggest. Some sharp bitterness and booze. Yeasty sweetbread flavors fill out. Hop character seems to manifest more in the bitterness than flavor, though a fair amount in each. Palate is full and aggressive, filling out all over the place.
Only real problem with this one is the same as the other Allagash big beers- $$.

May 7, 2008 Bottle. Not found of this beer. overhoped, you can taste, some herbs and green flavors. Not a big fan of this dry hoped beer. overpriced.

May 3, 2008 Bomber. Poured a fairly translucent amber gold with a steady amount of off-white head. Good amount of hops on the nose, with some slight candied fruit notes. Mouthfeel is fairly hoppy, very fullbodied, and a good amount of malt that rounds it out a bit. Definitely some pine and lime in there. Fairly decent beer.

May 1, 2008 Bottle. Rich copper amber beer with a dark cream colored head. Light sweet malt aroma with a bit of oak and fruity hops. Medium bodied. Rich malt flavor with a bit of caramel, slight grass, light spice and some fruit. Lingering malt with a bit of grass and earth.

Apr 30, 2008 Murky amber color out of the bottle with a rocky off white head. Light yeast, malt and earth aromas. Flavors of dusty grain, chalk, yeast, leather, fruit and something metallic in the finish. The alcohol is very present when you exhale. Odd beer.
