Oct 26, 2007 Bottle. Pours decent cheddar yellow with an aroma of peach preserves and yeast. Very yeasty flavor with hints of dull orange and peach. Average mouthfeel. Not worth the price ($18) I paid for it. I’ve had better for half the cost.

Oct 24, 2007 Bottle: Poured a mahogany color ale with a huge foamy head with some good retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with some dry with some dry Czech hops. Taste is also dominated by those sweet malt with limited dry fruits characteristics or oak notes. Body is quite full with some great carbonation and no alcohol was noticeable.

Oct 22, 2007 Pours a very dense but small head. Has a nice Dark golden/ brown color. Aroma is very weak, but has a little hop smell. Flavor is a light citrus taste with a present but not strong hop taste. Finish is a nice slightly sweet. Better if you allow this beer to warm. Drink slightly chillde to room temp for more hop flavor. Its drinkable, but not savorable.

Oct 18, 2007 Consumed 5-12-07. Dark copper, minimal head. Big tropical fruity esters, banana and I swear pineapple. No malt detectable whatsoever. Flavor again very tropical like juicy fruit. Some malt is there for backbone but not much to speak of. Lingering sweetness though. Nice but hard to raise any one category.

Oct 16, 2007 750ml bottle provided by tjthresh at my tasting, 10/12. Pour is slightly hazy red orange with a small off white head. Aroma is big sweetness and some Belgian yeastiness. Taste has some nice yeastiness too it, but the sweetness breaks through a bit awkardly, and overpowers the flavor a bit. This one ended up being a bit bland.

Oct 15, 2007 Pours a cloudy peach color with a thin white head. Aroma of hops, fruits, yeast and honeyish sweetness. Flavor of hops, honey, fruits and yeast. The body is light to medium with a liquorous texture and soft carbonation.

Oct 13, 2007 Disappointing aroma. Sort of a candy corn aroma.
Amber orange hue with some off white head.
Again, hugely dissappointing. I was really looking for more hop character, taste a lot of toast and candy sugar.
Syrupy slick. evaportating alcohol
I don’t know what to say. I’m very disappointed with this beer. Oh well. Allagash has made many great beers. One miss step is okay I suppose.
