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.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange-brown color with a light white head. Slight lacing. Aroma of maple, fruit, and yeast. Flavor is yeasty with an apricot and maple finish to it. A solid brew! Thanks Cottrell for the trade.

Remeniscent of some strong Belgian ales, with a light spicy kick that satisfies. Aroma is of apples and metallic dryness. Flavor is sweeter, like candy apples and malt cough drops. Well attenuated, making for a drinkability that is truly treacherous. An excellent beer to enjoy during the WARMER seasons, too.

pours an amber color with an off white head. Very nice aroma, very cirtus and fruit smell to it. nice subtle smoky mild bitter finish, the flavor is more of a sweet fruit. I really enjoyed this, as i do alot of the allagash beers. I actually passed out drunk half way through the beer and it was left open in my fridge for 2 days, and it actually tasted pretty good even then.

Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of citrus, lemon, yeast, banana, and slight candied sugar. Very delicious aroma. Flavor is strong of the citrus, banana, and candied sugar up front. Finishes with spices and yeast with a subtle bitterness from some floral hops. A very delicious brew.

The Dan Journal #5. Tasted 4/15/2006. 750ml Bottle. Hazy with a golden brown hue. Clinging with white head. Spicy orange aromas. Banana and bready. Nutmeg and cinnamon. Full bodied and sweet. Nice lively effervescence. Fruity with a candy 7-Up carbonation. Banana yeasty flavor. Sticky and sweeter than a hefe, but a subtle nuance. Finish is bitter and lingering. Leaves the gums tingling. Ver nice!

Pours a hazy roasted golden brown color with a small yellowish head, with moderate lacing. Lots of citrus in the aroma with a nice light yeast nose. I felt that the flavor was dominated mostly by orange peel, light hints of caramel and firm, complex malty finish with Belgian yeast, candy sugar and peppery spice. Palate doesn’t linger for that long, but very crisp on the tongue, with lots of carbonation. A very enjoyable beer.

12 oz bottle-hazy orange color w/no head but some good lacing. Slight floral aroma. Had a very smooth floral, spice, vanilla, flavor w/traces of orange peel & some dry overtones. This was almost too smooth, could have had a little more kick to it. Nice mouthfeel, kind of a weak finish. Decent, but I was expecting more from this Brewer the way people rave about them.
