Mar 28, 2009 Dank yeast and fruit in the aroma. Cloudy light brown color with a large almond head. This one exploded all over when I opened it. Sweet beginning with a tart finish. Sweet sticky palate.

Feb 17, 2009 Bottle pours medium copper orange with a creamy, slightly off white head. Sweet, citurs and honey aroma with a bit of yeast and bread. Thinner body than expected with a good amount of honey and fruit. A bit of dry hop bitterness at the end. Also, some orange at the swallow and aftertaste. Not sure whether or not I like it. Was expecting more bitterness from the description. A bit of staleness after a few tastes.

Feb 13, 2009 Bottle, 75cl. A hazy, orange to golden beer with a creamy beige head. Herbal, fruity nose with some cellar, quite a dash of sugars, some alcohol and hoppy touch Alcohol, sweetness, some pale malts, some herbal notes and hops in the mouth, warming and full-bodied. Quite effervescent. Dangerously easy to drink. More hop-driven than a Belgian ale uses to be, but pleasant. Could use a bit more sting and complexity. But definately not a beer I would shy away from.

Feb 10, 2009 Pours a honey orange-amber with a large head. I don’t know why, but as soon as I’d released enough tension on the wire cage, the cork popped off and richocheted about the kitchen with immense velocity, just like in the cartoons! No bullshit! This was the first time I’d ever been compelled to take a "contents under pressure" warning seriously. The highlight of this beer is really the flavor: The first sip is brilliant with a thick viscosity full of hops and sweet fruits. Dark fruits, peaches, and more. I like the moderate alcohol burn in the esophagus too. Should be priced around $10 to $12. Overpriced at the $17 I paid for it, but that might be Bevereges & More!’s fault. Overall, not world-class, as one would expect from the price, but damn good nevertheless.

Feb 10, 2009 Balanced, zesty orange nose, slight earth and vanilla. Deep amber, medium body, slightly hazy. Very smooth flavor, zesty, resin, apple and pear esters, Medium to dry finish, slightly creamy.

Feb 5, 2009 Poured from a 750ml caged and corked bottle and served in a tulip. This beer poured lightly hazed dark golden with a thick, rocky head of light beige foam. Excellent retention and lacing. The aroma was made up of strong lemony/orange citrus notes, a solid amount of caramel, and also some mildly spicy yeast esters. The flavor was lightly peppery, full of bright citrus, and had a sturdy caramel backbone. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and had light carbonation. This is a tasty beer, but it really lacks any Belgian or yeast character. It comes across as more of a regular IPA.

Jan 30, 2009 750 ml bottle. Pours a hazy dark orange/amber color with a thick rocky off white head that leaves significant lacing. The aroma is moderately sweet malt, yeast, spices, fruit, some alcohol, and bready. The flavor is malty, some sweetness, fruity, alcohol, and hoppy. The hops seem strange with this beer. This is on the high side of medium bodied and wants to go down smoothly, but the burn in the finishputs an end to that. I have enjoyed other Allagash beers much better.
