Pours an amber gold, medium white head. Aroma and flavor are true to it’s brilliantly punny name (humulone, which is the molecule pictured on the label).
This didn’t bring any comparisons to mind, except (vaguely) for Chouffe Houblon Triple. Odd combination of belgian esters and um, humulone (alpha acids). Not my favorite offering from Allagash, but it was good enough and offered something interesting. Probably not worth the $13 though.

Dec 31, 2009 750 ml bottle. Poured a hazed orange body with an average sized white foamy head. Aroma was loaded with lots of green apple, white grapes, barrel notes, candi sugar, vinuous notes. Body is suprisingly full with lots of carbonation. Flavor of grapes, green apples, barrel wood, apple skins, dried fruit, and older hops. Nice stuff and worth a drink but is it worth the Allagash price tag.....sorry don’t think so for this one.

Dec 19, 2009 Draught @ Brouwer’s Café: Dirty caramel, a little dark, large frothy off-white head, spotty lacing. Heavy barnish nose with a subtle spiciness. Hard to tell what they are going for here. Very meaty and malty on the tongue. Extremely bready. Musty basement notes as well. This one is a little different as I have no idea what its supposed to be. Its like a heavy Saison, really heavy Saison. Body and mouthfeel are moderate, bubley. Musty basement like finish, bready, a little bright and grassy. Not bad, but certainly different.

Dec 16, 2009 Draft at Swift. Pours a lovely, slightly opaque orange-gold with a fine, pure white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, citrus fruits and some floral hops. Flavor has some nice, though mild, hop character, and some funky Belgian yeast notes. Smooth and crisp on the finish.

Dec 15, 2009 Draft at Thirsty Monk in Asheville. Usually I don’t go crazy for these belgian IPA’s, but this one was very well done. Didn’t feel like just an IPA fermented with belgian yeast, like sometimes. This was prettay, prettay, prettay good.

Nov 17, 2009 Pours a hazy copper with a big sustained white head... Aroma of Citrus hops and belgian yeast take the forefront... Fruity esters finish a dry hoppy mildly creamy medium bodied ale.. Silky mouthfeel... One of the better belgian IPA’s i’ve had...
