Tap @ BBF:NOTF. Lemon , cherries with a nice malt character to back it up. Very bright, very nice. A bit of barnyard in the finish.

On tap at Novare 5/26. Really liked this one. At least...that’s what the notes say :-P. Golden blonde with whipped up frothy head. Light and effervescent, but it’s got enough backbone to stand up. Lemon-y, Citrus-y a tad sweet, sounds like an arnold palmer or something, but it’s not. It’s Indigenuts!

Reviewed from notes. Pours a nice golden color with a good white head and a bit of lacing on the way down. The nose brings forward a good amount of cider plus some spice and nice notes of citrus peel. Flavor brings a bit of spice as well as some apples, orange, and a bit of white pepper. Mouthfeel is nice and crisp with good carbonation. Really a nice and unique beer all around; cheers to Allagash. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 05-19-2011

In short: A tart and dry-ish fruity blonde ale. I loved it.
How: Tap at Extreme Beer Fest 2011
The look: Almost clear yellow body topped by a long-lasting small white head
In long: Nose is tart fruits with a little rustic edge. Taste is pineapples, tart apples, citrus fruits, yeast. Somewhat dry finish. This was supposed to be a cider/ale hybrid bastard beer but I didn’t find the much cider in there. Apples was just one of the many fruits I could have listed. The yeast seemed to add a dryness to the beer making it feel almost Saison-ish. Another good beer I got to try at Extreme Beer Fest. And looking around at all the beer geeks present, I also realized that they hold beer festivals on week-ends because honestly, most of us cannot get dates anyway.

You could NOT tell the nose apart from a cider. Even the taste is nearly a cider. The only subtle difference is the yeast. Most people could not tell the difference if this and a good cider were side by side. I only could because our bartender told be before hand. Another amazing brew from Allagash. Very tasty.

Draft @ Three Penny Taproom. Big white bubbles for head. Hazy orange, with yellow hues around the edges. Awesome aroma of orange and light Belgian spice. Taste is a mouth watering, orange peel and a slight pepper in the finish. Low carbonation and easy to drink. Great on draft. I would order again.

Draft. Pours a golden body with a white head. Big cider and yeast tones. Apple cores, a hint of oak, sweet fleshy apples. A bit dry in the finish with a bit of spiciness. Mild warmth. Alright.

Cidery, very heavy on the apple and spices. Yeast extremely prevalent. A bit on the alcoholic side of things, but a good and fun experiment.

Sampled from the tap at EBF. Poured a near clear yellowish gold with a white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma had sweet grains with a bit of candied sugar and some spice as well as a slight apple note underlying. Flavor began with sweet grains and biscuit with a bit of light fruit and spice that came out in the finish.

Sample at NOTB 2011
Appearance : Clear very pale yellow.
Aroma : A bit cidery with light yeast and light apples.
Taste : Cidery with light malty notrs and light citrusy notes. A bit tart. Quite yeasty. nice white grapes on the finish.
Overall : Interesting presence of the dry cider yeast but not really interesting for me. Enjoyable finish. Rather drinkable. Alcohol is a bit too present.
