Similar to Victoria, but red grapes (Chancellor) were used in place of white.

[1] Review by staleyiv from Newnan, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/5/2008 11:33:39 PM)
"First product from these guys in a while. Aroma is soft with some vinious aroma and carmelized candy sugar with some faint saaz hops perhaps with some cdark grapes and faint funky barnyard hay. Appearance is a golden amber in color when held to the light with a full head on top that is off-white in color and well-carbonated and remains leaving creamy lacing on the glass. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied with some interesting complexity as well as balance with a palate that is wet-like. Flavor is of caramel malt and carmelization with some Belgian yeastiness and tannins with an aftertaste that is of dark grapes and a finish that is clean, crisp, and very tasty. Overall, nice ale here and would pair well with food but is also fine alone; recommended brew here for sure..."

[2] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (5/16/2008 2:56:24 PM)
"Bottle courtesy of Jay23: Poured a deep hazy copper/orangey color ale with a big foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with light grape taste. Taste is a quite complex mix between some light grapes, sweet Belgian malt with some yeasts attenuation and a light funky finish. Very light notes of oak and tart notes are also noticeable. I find this beer to be quite good but not sure I would purchase very often considering the price tag."

[4] Review by doulos31 from Middletown, DE, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/23/2008 4:27:46 PM)
"Pour was orange with smallish head and some lacing. Weak aroma of musty fruit. The flavor in this was heavy spices, yeast out the wazoo under a strong grapey/peachy base. Mouthfeel was really carbonated, but it needed to be because it was sweet. This beer was really yeasty and reminded me of Unibroue beers. Good effort."

[5] Review by eaglefan538 from DE, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/9/2008 11:52:01 PM)
"Pours an orangey amber color, off-white colored head, generous in size, yields good lacing. The aroma was full of grapes, lots of Ally Belgian yeasty notes (the spicey-ness), other lighter fruits. The flavor followed the aroma, lots of grapes for sure, peaches, a pretty nice blending of flavors, candi sugar, honey, phenolic spicing. Mouthfeel is full, pretty gassy (but in a good way), somewhat of a bready yeasty cleanup to things at the end. Nice one, Allagash."
