DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Jan 19, 2009 Bottle. Hoppy spicy aroma. Light orange body, huge dense rocky white head. One of the better and more interesting Allagash offerings. Flavor is fruity and hoppy, refreshing, and for a change not too sweet. joaj34 (3), USA does not count Jan 10, 2009 I don’t know how much of a stron ale it really is, but either way, the Hugh Malone is good. Maybe not $15 good, though... fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Jan 3, 2009 750 ml bottle. Red pour with nice head. Aromas were sweet malt and some spice. Flavors moved into fruity and still spicy. Very good beer. KimJohansen (6645), Copenhagen V, Denmark Dec 31, 2008 Cloudy amber with large off white head. Spicy aroma with toasted malt and alcohol notes. Flavour is somewhat sweet with yeasty and malty notes. drfabulous (1212), Columbia, Missouri, USA Dec 27, 2008 More of a Saison than the Belgian Strong Ale it claims. Fruity. Spices. Light body. Good, but maybe not one of the best Allagash offers.
EithCubes (2140), Indiana, USA Dec 23, 2008 Corked and caged bottle. Nice big soapy hop nose, lychee, caramel, grapefruit, and pine; flowery and fruity tones from a mystery hop [= Simcoe – need more!]. Hazy dark urine pour with a huge, perfectly creamy and rocky lacing white head. Just gorgeous. Taste is brutally hoppy, very bitter and drenched in sweaty caramel. Light resin and cat pee. Grape skins, orange rinds, and light Belgian yeast. Medium body, dry fruity-hoppy end. Really enjoyed it, but needed to split it with someone else. CamdenD (606), Madrid, Spain Dec 22, 2008 Updated: Dec 24, 2008Another good take by Allagash on a belgian style ale. This one, though, is definitely not worth the price-tag. Allagashs "normal" offerings are far more impressive and cost-effective. Yeah, this one tastes Belgian. marcus (1821), Sacramento, California, USA Dec 5, 2008 This golden ale poured with a magnificent bubbly of-white head and a fruity aroma. There is a nice caramel malt base enhanced with spices and significant carbonation. The finish is sour peach with a warming alcohol trail.
