TeamTrappist (363), jericho, New York, USA Nov 5, 2009 Tap at blind tiger. Poured a cloudy golden amber with a thin head. Light nose with some Belgian yeast. Nice spicy and extremely drinkable. Honey and hop notes lead the front. Delicious sweet and malty finish with no hint of the 8.2 abv. Dangerously sessionable. Headbanger (1574), Aurora, Illinois, USA Jul 28, 2009 9oz draft For the Love of Hops 7/6/09 Had with FlssmrBrewAlum-Poured a hazy orangish golden with a small white head. Aroma of yeast, honey, and sweetness. Flavor was the same with some wheat and lemon coming through. A very well balanced light bodied beer that finished dry. Overall great tasting and was great to be able to try. vtafro (452), , New Jersey, USA Jun 28, 2009 Tap @ Capones. Golden pour. Aroma was very nice, flavor was great however light enough to be able to drink this all day but abv would get you drunk. Nice beer. Arayaga2 (932), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 28, 2009 Hazy yellow orange with a bit of white head. Aroma is a bit faint, but sweet with wheaty spice notes. Taste is the same with peachy and citrus with phenolics accentuating dryness into the finish. WeeHeavySD (2940), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Jun 20, 2009 Tap at Capones, today, psyched to see an Allagash beer that I haven’t had before, especially on tap. Pours orange with a bright white ring. Nose is sweet, light. Taste is wow wow wow, supre tasty, light citrus, excellent vinous dry character. FlssmrBrewAlum (1060), Lisle, Illinois, USA Jun 7, 2009 9 oz draft courtesy of the TB Hop Juice release (Warrenville, IL). Pours a nice hazy bright orangish gold. Small white head that laces some. Aromas are sweet, belgian yeast, honey sweetness with a touch of vanilla. Initial is light, flavorful. Good belgian yeast, nothing overpowering. Honey, vanilla, a touch of lemon rind, some cereal malt character. Backend mellow, moves to a sturdy dryness in the finish. Very well balanced, subtle yet flavorful. Dances on the palate with belgian yeast, honey, and lemon. I think vanilla is almost a byproduct, just showing up from the smoothness. Light spice, very nice. Cheers! Narnad (681), Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA Jun 7, 2009 A guest beer at For the Love of the Hops! 2009 festival at Two Brothers Brewery in Warrenville, IL. Golden color with a modest white head. Aroma overall is pretty light with some lemon/orange notes, light alcohol and a pils graininess. Flavor has an overall strong alcohol flavor, a touch of lemon, pils malt is there and a nice clove and yeasty flavors are hidden away in there as well. Good beer overall. GeneralGao (3051), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Apr 19, 2009 Draft at Rattle ’n Hum. Poured a slightly hazy light orange color. The head was white and left some lace behind. Attractive nose of clove, ginger, flower blossom, and vanilla. Medium bodied and semi sweet. The flavors followed the aromas somewhat. Yeasty bread dough, honey, subdued clove, and ginger came together nicely. Good stuff.
