One of the most complex beers I have tasted, and mean that in a good way. Summer sweet, hazy gold, finish at tip of tongue and mid roof. Mad yum. 11% ABV.
Way different than my typical IPA.
I don't have the experience to really rate beers, but when I tasted the Allagash Curieux (on tap at Mad Hatter's in Greensboro), I knew this was special. Smooth, boozy in a good way, and hard to quit drinking, except I had my monitor.. er, wife to govern my consumption. Another thing that kept me from drinking too much was the $8 price for eight ounces.
Why, I haven't been this sure about something being very, very good since the first time I watched Manny Ramirez bat for the Burlington Indians rookie league team way back when.
Man, if your Mom made you wear that color when you were a baby, and you're still wearing it, it's time to grow up!
