Nov 26, 2003 Batch #9. The appearance was a large sized white head that contained fine-small bubbles. The body had quite a bit of lively carbonation, it was clear and had a golden hue. The nose was malty, hoppy, and fruity. The taste of this beer was sweet and fruity with a smooth, dry, thin and watery mouthfeel. This was a light bodied beer with fair lacing. Not a bad Belgian, but not a truly great one either.

Nov 26, 2003 Batch #9. This brew poured a large head of foamy finely sized white colored long lasting bubbles that left behind a carbonated light yellow orange colored transparent bidy and a fair lacing. The aroma of mild malt, hop and citrus was not real enticing. The mouthfeel is fairly smooth with a slight tingle and no afterbite. The flavor is mellow with notes of yeast, malt, some sweetness and is very well balanced. Nothing spectacular here but still a nice average brew.

Nov 24, 2003 A very nice refreshing beer, dark golden with a nice lacy head, a bit of a cloudy appearance, clean & crisp, well balanced, but still an average beer

Nov 24, 2003 Bottle. Golden orange in color with a foamy tan head. A mild aroma with citrus and spice and a hint of sweet candy. Medium to light body with a dry floral finish.

Nov 21, 2003 Updated: Oct 27, 20042003 bottle Reserve SpecialePours a soft orange with some deeper tones of gold and light beige. Mostly clouded. Big off-white head. Fairly faint aroma of the typical Allagash belgian yeast, but has a nice almost nutty malt aroma. Begins fairly light, low carbonation and lots of yeasty flavor, body is light to medium, prone to wateriness, but a good dry toffee malt is slightly apparent. A bit of spiciness and a fairly light, airy texture. I think this beer is underated, as it is not trying to be a super imperial ultra deluxe premium crazily malted/hopped beer, but the balance is there (could use a bit more sweet malt) and it is very subtle. Pleasant honey spice aftertaste that lingers. Well made. 2004 bottle Summer Ale Is it me or does this stuff not really taste the same? Much fruitier, good light yeast notes, lightly chewy and very pleasant.

Nov 18, 2003 Short-lived but rocket off-white head. Very hazy copper color. The aroma reminds me of a saison with its tart, hoppy scent. The flavor leaves a lot to be desired, because it reminds me of drinking Miller Lite (or some other BMC product) out of a can. It has a very weak, watery start a with an almost metallic aftertaste.

Oct 29, 2003 Orange gold color. Large foamy head. Aroma is fruity. A medium to lighter bodied Belgian Ale. Malts are fruity and spicy. Very fine lively carbonation. A little cider like. It’s very fruity and yeasty, and surprisingly dry. This would make a very good session beer. Alcohol is only 5%, but it has a lots of some of the complex flavors that I would expect in a much higher alcohol ale. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is dry. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
