Foliage Report: 7.0 – It’s a dubbel which is a welcome sight after not seeing one for a while. It is appropriately enough crisp and malty with some spices. Not insanely good but the right kind of beer you’d want drinking outdoors in the fall.
Price Average: $4 for full pour

Fine Acre: 6.5 – It’s basically what you would expect form Allagash making a golden ale. Oh sure we’d take a regular White over this, but it’s got lightness, hops, and a bit of nut – it is overall delicious
Price Average: $12 for 6-pack

Cross Path: 4.5 – It’s soft and malty but with some spice that is sort of like rosemary? There’s a lot of oats here though like more than an oatmeal stout and it sort of dominates. It’s okay overall.

Bijoux: 7.5 – Actually a slightly mellow sour (likely the aging), but does not skimp on the sour (the mellow comes on the backend) Overall it’s a pretty nice, complex, and fruity sour.

North Sky: 5.5 – The roasted barley and cocoa are heavy here. The aftertaste though has more of an almost fruit like component which doesn’t totally work, but it’s certainly got some character. We’re big fans of the Allagash, but to be honest the stout isn’t exactly a superb thing to drink, and coming from them expectations were high, but it’s mostly just – okay.

Avancé: 8.0 – It’s a bit weird to go from a sour that’s aged as that certainly has an aspect here, giving this a sort of graham cracker like feeling, and of course that’s complemented by the heavy strawberry flavoring. The result is like almost cheesecake like but w/o the cream and also it’s a beer. One does wonder if they made it with lactaid if it could pull off such a feat, but as is it’s a decidedly delicious and unique beer nonetheless.

Little Sal: 8.5 – It’s not often a mere trio of words can make one salivate, but Allagash, Sour, and Blueberry fit the bill. We don’t talk much about ‘color’ here on HBR because it’s often meaningless, but you pour this and look at the color and know it’s going to be a good time. As for the beer itself, it’s as expected – well executed, the sour is there, but the sweetness of the blueberries means it’s never not enjoyable. If we have a complaint it’s that the local store only sells 1 per customer and that soon enough this will likely be gone forever.

Farm to Face: 7.5 – About as basic as you can get. This is simply a standard sour ale, but then packed with peaches. While that may just it, it’s well executed and frankly delicious. If you wanted a sour w/ peaches (and you should) boom – here you go.

Pictavia Scotch Ale: 7.5 – A very very well done scotch ale, another great hit from Allagash. This is certainly what you want from a scotch ale, and the barrel aging from the scotch barrel hasn’t turned it cloyingly sweet like some bourbon barrels do. The problem here is that you kind of wish it was more. It’s a solid scotch ale of course, but it’s missing that tiny bit it needs to push it over the edge.
Price Average: $20 for 4-pack

Wild Rivulet: 9.0 – Once again there’s proof that a combo of Oxbow and Allagash can not do you wrong, but this even then is special. It’s akin to drinking a magic potion with it’s crazy fruit and tartness that gives way to nice smoothness. It’s a fucken fantastic wild ale.
