Jul 4, 2007 Interlude makes a cloudy concoction of grapefruit with a thin rocky head, like mold floating on a cigarette-laden rainwater ashtray. The fruit and vinegar aroma is very pleasant. It promises of a crisp and fruit body with alcohol highlights. The initial taste is a carbonated swig of liquid Juicy Fruit. The second taste, the one where you swish it around and really savor it, has an apple cider and vinegar flavor that is a bit disappointing. This is a nice solid beer but the slightly vinegar taste is not my style.

Jul 2, 2007 (750 ml bottle) Opaque orange body with thin off-white head that leaves lace on the glass . Aroma is medium sweet and tart; citrus, vinegar, wine, metallic. Flavor is very tart all the way with fruity, metallic taste, but with the alcohol becoming more apparent on the finish; finishes like a smooth red wine. Oak is present but very subdued and smooth. Medium bodied and slight effervescence. Very excellent.

Jun 30, 2007 Draft, at Capone’s (Norristown, PA); previously sampled at Tria Fermentation School. Pours orange-amber, with a thin off-white head. Nice tart, earthy aroma with oak, vanilla, and brett. Flavor is fairly tary, with oak, plum, cherry, and vinous notes. Really exciting beer; I’m a big fan of Allagash beers, and so far this is the best of the bunch.

Jun 26, 2007 Beers don’t get that much better than this. Light aroma of oak. Taste is slightly sour, but not at all overpowering. Deliciously complex and worth keeping the whole bottle to oneself.

Jun 20, 2007 Draft @ Capones. Golden-amber color with a light fizzy head. Aroma of grapes, yeast, bread, and lightly sour citrus fruits. Taste is pleasantly sour with some subtle spices. Grapes, citrus, and oaky flavors detectable. Well done by Allagash, and big props to Matt from Capone’s for getting this on tap (especially with the current Allagash Bottle prices).
