Apr 8, 2009 Dark ruby red with brown. A small light head. Aroma is abit strange at first. Taste is smooth and sweet with a lot of grainyness and some mellow hops and fruit. A bit dry even with all the sweetness. Very good.

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.

Mar 5, 2008 Pours dark copper, almost amber and hazy. A generous head of off white froth rose quickly to at least an inch and a half.
The thick foam settled down within a few minutes, with no lacework.
Aromatics are laced with caramel drizzeled hard candies with peachy, earthy undertones. A bit resinous and sugary, with a balancing citrus nod. Belgianesque in a big way with plenty of phenols..Apples, cloves, and some bubblegum.
The nose finishes out with candied tangerine segments and whiff of cracked garlic.
The mouthfeel is tacky and sticky, with enough carbonation to keep it from getting cloying.
The pallet is sweetish and laden with malt, brown sugar, and a spicy bitterness. Hopping is not very prevalent other than whats evident in the bitterness.
Warming with a smooth bitterness, and punctuated with chipped toffee and citrus fruits.
Finishes sticky, clovey and warming.
Certainly not within the realm of IPA, but tasty nonetheless.

Feb 10, 2008 750ml via trade a while back. Shared with Cyn, dinner of Gazapacho and grilled jerk tofu. Read the reviews and thankfully mine was not a gusher. Pours orange and bubbly with a nice 2 finger tan head. Nose has some sweet fruity yeast in it. Taste is sweet and light with some clear cut hoppiness. This is certainly another interesting interpretation of the style by Allagash, this is a hoppy belgian but not quite a belgian IPA. Pretty tasty better than the last few raters thought at least. Complex and interesting.

Jul 29, 2007 Poured dark brown with 1 inch of tan head. Clinging, foamy lace. Aromas of malty wheat and some sour yeast. After smelling, the taste threw me off guard. Contrasting to the sour scent, this beer contains flavors of nutty malts, caramel, huge grains, slightly bitter with a well rounded palate. Very warming, if off-balanced. High carbonation. Pretty good.

Oct 7, 2007 750ml bottle. Full rich orange-brown color, assumably unfiltered. Sweet, herbal, and a little spicy. Piny aftertaste and aroma. Lots of subtle hopping. Full of flavor, and balanced enough to pull it off in a classy fashion.

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.
