So this is a limited release form Allagash, bigger than their Goulship ale at around 2800 bottles. A crisp beer, belgian yeast with the sour cherry flavors. A shallow head but very bubbly. Almost like champagne. A very dry finish. You don't taste the 8.9ABV, very drinkable. I would not recommend this to anyone who does not like "fruity" beers or highly carbonated. The video shows you how the bubbles continue, this continues as you are drinking it.

Gueuze Tilquin
A very good Belgian Lambic. Sharp grapefruit tartness presides. Bubbly smooth body, a fruity citrus nose. Damn I love a good sour ale!!!

Goulship Release!
Waited in line at the Allagash for some GoulShip! They had the cask room all decorated for Halloween and gave out some samples of Goulship. It was fruity, very bubbly, almost ciderish. I would not tell you to expect this to be a typical "spiced" pumpkin ale. It is decidedly lambic in style, it has that great sour lambic flavor. If you have ever tried any raw pumpkin or pumpkin juice that flavor is there, it gives this sour a mild fruitiness. At first I was on the fence on liking it or not but as I drank more it really grew on me. My only regret now is that I didn't buy more.

Smuttynose Gravitation
A Belgian style quad. Part of Smuttynose Big Beer series. A rich dark red in color. About 10ish ABV. So good, has a bit of that Belgian sour flavor to it. I am on a big sour kick right now and this has helped me along with that.

Sour beer.
A malty, rich sour ale. A nice spunk to it. I was discussing Lambics with a friend the other day which gave me the craving for a good sour ale. I couldn't find any from state side so I searched the import aisle. It has a tangy citrus nose. Very easy to drink. Big white frothy head on it. Hopefully I will find some other good sours soon!
