Apr 25, 2008 750ml bottle. Poured a hazy yellow-light orange color. Head was white with good retention and lacing. Smelled of clove, light citrus, and flower blossom. There were also whiffs of peach, corn muffin, and alcohol. Dry, effervescent, and a little chalky. I tasted citrus, clove, and other spices. Warm alcohol seeped into the mucous membranes. There was some raw alcohol and mild bitterness at the end. Interesting beer.

Apr 20, 2008 My Bottom Line:
Fresh herbs wisely impart their floral nature to this citrusy, dry and subtly bitter Belgian-style Strong Ale. I have come to expect nothing less than this high quality from Allagash.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam covers the cloudy yellow.
-Carbonation is well calculated and serves the sagaciously dried out malt sweetness beautifully.
-The finishing hop bitterness harmoniously joins the yarrow use.
-This is not as sweet as many Allagash specials, which was appreciated.

Apr 20, 2008 Blind tasting at Papsoes place, another great session, thanks Henrik! Beer #29: Pours hazy yellow to orange with fully diminished white head. Lime to citrusy hops aroma. Flavour is light caramel malt nicely blended with a delicate citrusy hoppy flavour. Light yeasty touch into the finish followed by a nice lingering hops finish.

Apr 16, 2008 Thin white head of fine and dense bubbles. Light carbonation. Soft fruity aroma with some pineapple, ginger and other spices and a bit of straw. Color is a hazy golden orange. Light and fruity flavor with some more spices, a decent herbal bitterness and a some spruce late swallow. Strong and noticable alcohol presence and heat as it goes down. Medium bodied and lighter in malt character. I am sure this does not help the alcohol presence and makes it more noticable. Some bitter orange and mint lingering. A pretty damn good belgian and one that I am sure is going ot mess me up!
