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.

A hazy orange beer with a lazing orange head. The aroma is sweet and very spicy - especially coriander comes thru, but it also has light notes of oranges. The flavor is sweet - somewhat too sweet and sticky for my liking, with notes of malt, oranges, and peaches, leading to an end with a slight alcohol burn.

I’m tasting this side-by-side with the Allagash White so that I can do a direct comparison... The Allagash Grand Cru is an color and nearly clear. Mild carbonation with foamy light orange head. Aroma is sweet, malty, and yeasty. Flavor is quite sweet , mostly malt, some fruit (apple maybe?), and some subtle spice. Finishes slightly yeasty with a little spice, some alcohol, and a honey-like sweetness. Mellow, smooth, and quite good. This is a really good beer at a great price (with cool packaging too!) - highly recommended! 750 mL bottle (Batch 11, corked, 7.2% alcohol), $5.99 from River’s Bend.
