Commercial Description:
Allagash Grand Cru is deep golden in color, and has a firm yet refined malty palate. Taste and aroma have suggestions of smoke and licorice, with subtle hints of fruit and spice. An excellent beer to enjoy during the cooler seasons.

Pours an orangish red with a thick white head. Yeast and fruity hops aroma, reminds me of a tripel. Flavor is sweet with hints of spices and citrus. Pretty average in my opinion.

Deep golden in color, almost copper, with a bit white head whcih settled down into a nice wite layer. Nose of malt and hops. Taste of malt, spices, particular coriander. Fizzy due to the wheat. Alcohol in back. Not amazing, but pretty good! Very refreshing.

12 oz bottle - Cloudy medium orange color with smallish pure white head. Aroma has notes of caramel, slightly chewy malts, fair amount of honey, black pepper, lavender. Flavor is crisp, with light caramel, touch of oak, hint of grains of paradise, touch of wheat and honey. Finish is fairly dry, slightly sweet.

750ml Bottle: Aroma of spices, Belgian yeast, coriander, pepper, and caramel. Poured copper/amber in color with a large, foamy, creamy, off-white head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Sparkling. Many tiny particles. Excellent lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of spices, coriander, pepper, caramel, apples, and a hint of citrus. I do not detect any smoke or licorice. Medium body. Chalky texture. Average carbonation. Medium-dry, spiced finish.

Finally got around to opening this one. Bit carbonated, but otherwise much lighter than other sweeter, maltier grand crus I’ve had. Little bit of spice and that Belgian ale taste. I’d like the caramel a bit more pronounced...like Alesmith’s.

Bottle batch 18. Funny thing is I don’t remember buying this beer, but there it was in my fridge, so the dude abides. Yellow orange pour with a white head. Smells of cloves and friut. Good carbination. Finishes very nice and dry, yet leaves a long smooth aftertaste.

From a corked and caged 750 bottle, this poured a cloudy orange with a light orange head with big bubbles and major league lacing. Nose is of oranges and malts, with a hint of coriander. Mouthfeel is fizzy yet it is sticky on the back of the tongue. Flavor is sweet and of malts, oranges and apricots. Dry finish with some spices. A little hard to finish the glass.
