This beer is a 5.3% ABV Belgian-style pale ale brewed with coriander and made in collaboration with Allagash Brewing of Portland, Maine.
The beer pours honey golden in color, with an orange/apricot
tint. There is about an inch of white, tightly foamy head. The aroma is tangy,
yeasty, fruity, mandarin oranges and tropical. The taste is floral, fruity,
yeasty, tangy, hitting the same notes as the aroma, but adding in more floral
at the front, with the fruit strong in the aftertaste, lots of apricot, almost
nectarine. There is a light spice in the aroma and taste, but the coriander is
subtle and well-incorporated with the other flavors. It is bracingly dry and
moderately bitter. It drinks crisp and refreshing. This is wonderful stuff.
