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 hazy orange-coppery with thick creamy layer of foam that vanishes fast. Smells include bright grapefruit, starfruit, kumquat, and other yellow citrusy fruits. Dryness also immediately apparent in the nose. Some white sherry aromas too. Flavors are fruity and dry together. JP-like character. Some tartness, some dryness, some salt, some acidity, and some champagne-like qualities. Soft, big bursty, lively mouthfeel. Great stuff.

Mild malt and strong yeast aroma. Cloudy orange color with a medium thick white head. Mild bitterness in the beginning with a slight amount of bitterness in the finish. Full palate.

Deep golden color with a thick white head. Not really much in the nose, but you can detect some spice and definitely yeast. The cork added to the aroma, don’t know if that was a positive? Dry in the mouth with notes of pear and spice. Better than expected

Color of dark straw with a good, fluffy head. Nose is a little weak, but I’m getting some spices and belgian yeast. The flavor is a litle dry, but in a really good way. Balanced between traditional flavors, banana, cloves and sugar, and some pinot gris and a little oaky suggestions. Dry, but not too thin. Good beer.

Just uncorked a bottle of this great beer and I’m not disappointed in the least. I was in the mood for a new, great winter beer to consume tonight and this one makes me happy. Tastes very nice, and I’ll be adding this to my list of damn good winter beers.

Murky orange-gold with big, creamy off-white head / Banana and spice nose / Full, lush, malty body with creamy, long, slightly bitter, finish / Flavors of banana, orange, coriander, smoke, and licorice / Outstanding and interesting syle of Belgian ale. A winter white.

750 ml bottle (batch 16) - dark orange and slightly hazy w/ considerable carbonation; massive head from a bad pour that took 10 mins. to settle; nose is all rich spice; creamy texture at first becoming thin and crisp; smooth spice flavors are not overwhelming
