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.

Bouteille de 12oz. Orange rouilleée brumeuse, petit collet. arome légé de malte épicé, houblon parfumé. Goût malté simple, mais des bonnes notes d’agrumes épicé, par contre elle a une finission aquese. Elle est bonne mais elle porait être plus!

Hazy amber pour with fluffy white head. Mixed aroma of yeast and spices. Complex flavors consisting of malts, wood, smoke, caramel, and spices. Dry finish, slightly acidic.

The color of preserved amber with a filling fluff head. Wonderfully complex aroma of spices and yeast. Notes of pepper and a twinge of uric acid. Light string of smoke. Some licorice in flavor along with spicy caramel sweetness. Not a lot of zing, but flavorful all the same.

Pours a cloudy grapefruit colored body. Has a small head that leaves a rather thin lacing. Really strong fruity aroma... ironically in conjunction with the appearance: grapefruit. Strong fruity taste. Heavy on the malts. Kind of burnt taste in a way. Medium bodied. And it has a bitter dry finish with a mild aftertaste.

750 ml bottle. Pours a hazyy amber color with a medium off-white head. Aroma of yeast, spices and grapefruit. Flavor of spices, malt , citrus and light hops. The taste of coriander is very evident in the end. Has a dry slighty metallic finish.
