Jul 18, 2005 From notes dated June 2004: I’m not generally a fan of writing reviews from old notes, but since this is the only Allagash I haven’t rated and am unlikely to encounter it again, here goes nothing. Pours a deep red almost on the brown side with a thin off white head. Taste is very sour with some fruity notes popping out. Nice sour finish.

May 10, 2005 Allagash is ok when no other bruin/dubbel is available, which is a lot of times and places! It’s got good color, but lacks much of a flavor punch--nothing much I can remember in any event (had it 2 weeks ago)... A noble effort by the gang from Maine--but try to model on something tasty like Tongerlo Bruin!

Oct 23, 2004 Ruby tinted amber coloured body with a velvety tan head-VERY nice! Cherries, raisins, malt, vanilla in aroma. Medium-bodied; Malty flavour, good nutty & spice hints with a subtle fruit flavour. Aftertaste clean & malty-decent! Overall, GREAT to try, a real treat being able to sample this Maine beer here in Washington! Not the best Ally ever (in my opinion), but a good beer none-the-less. I sampled this pint on draught at RFD in Washington, D.C. on 20-June-2004 with JonR888710 & Haddon90.

Jul 7, 2004 I love all allagash brews this one is no exception...... One does not have to travel far to get such a good brew

Jun 25, 2004 Ruby-brown body, wheat colored and long-lasting head. Smells sugars and malt. Tastes watery and of sweet malt and not much else. Boring and thin. Sampled on draught at RFD in Washington, DC.

Jun 21, 2004 On tap at RFD in Washington, D.C. Clear ruby color. Frothy tan head. Faint aroma though. Malty, some sourness and a finish of yeast. Light flavor. Sweet. Some malt. Little sour in the aftertaste. Overall OK, but nothing special.

May 4, 2004 Ruby and clear.The girlfriend didn’t think much of it. I thought it was okay. Thought of it as something like their session ale, but if I remember, the ABV was a bit much for that. A tad sour (or tart), but clean and well balanced. Not a let down exactly, but not up to par with the excellent beers I’ve had from Allagsh.

Apr 8, 2004 A letdown after tasting its more powerful tapmates. Not like the sours I've had before. A little too sweet. Yeasty notes are the best part. Stick with the triple.
