Jul 13, 2003 I thought this was pretty average across the board. Flavor is sweet and malty, but there is little hops balance, leaving it one-dimensional.

Jul 11, 2003 Well, i've been waiting for this one. My favourite brewery up north here, and this is the second to last one i've yet to try! Batch #4, which should be nice as everyone else seems to be rating Batch #8. I've had it for a while, and hopefully some new flavours will emerge! Great orange colour with a frothy white head. Tons of those small bubbles rising from the sides and bottom, definately what I want to see from a belgie style. The aroma is a bit of yeast, some fruit and a hint of spice. The taste is very drying and other than that not much. A major disapointment. In retrospect, it is very similiar to the one bottle of Orval I've had thus far. Great looking, decent smelling, but with absolutely no taste other than - drying. This shouldn't be a speciale and this shouldn't be from Allagash. I love them, and if you want to judge them,don't try this one!

Jul 8, 2003 Has a clouded light orange/amber color with some carbonation and a spice/fruit smell. Taste was light/yeast/malt and finishes with a light spice flavor. Overall nothing special, but not bad. Batch #8.

Jul 6, 2003 Sour aroma, toasted malt flavor is evident in this wasy drinking "lawnmower beer".

Jul 1, 2003 Updated: Jan 11, 2007Bottle (batch #8)... RBSG2003...
Hazy, light golden ale. Huge, white head that retains well. Good lacing.
The nose is yeasty with notes of green apple and spices (clove, cinnamon and coriander?).
The flavor is light and well-balanced. Lightly spiced and vineous.
Light-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and very soft carbonation. Short, refreshing finish.

Jun 30, 2003 Draft at the Grey Lodge in Philly. Nice beer. Amber in color had a little fruity flavor to it

Jun 29, 2003 Very yeasty and biscuity. The middle is vey light, but the end is very dry. It dries very quickly leaving almost no aftertaste. A somewhat boring American version of a "session Belgian" if there can be such a thing!

Jun 28, 2003 Slightly hazy, golden, dissipating but lasting white head and nice lace. Nose of slight clove, yeast and subtle malt. Thin to medium bodied, sweet up front, taken over by acidic yeast, slight hop bitterness and a bit of lemon. There might be some corriander in there as well. Very easy drinker and perfect for a hot day.
