4 | Beer | United States, Less than $10, 750 ml

"Fruity/yeasty nose with flowery overtones. Deep rich amber look with a lasting thick light orange head. Wonderful smell. The original taste is very fruity of tart plum and raisin then is followed by a smooth slightly bitter finish...."

"...Alcohol is minimal and the hops lead the way, but malts balance things...It has a light feel and seems to go down easy with a slight bitter aftertaste that lingers for a short time..."

"Raw and complex yet oh so drinkable, impossible to tell it would have been from NY in a blind tasting. One of our favorites, bring a couple of 750ml bottles to the dinner party and see if this sparks anyone's interest away from wine."

"Divinely drinkable...the epitome of a good delicious, easy drinking Belgian-style pale ale...Complex, flavorful, a perfect beer for rich cheeses and crusty bread..."

"....Aroma is of dark malts and dried fruits with some molasses and spice....The taste is a nice plethora of dried fruits and sweet molasses....Overall, a nice example of a Belgian Quad...."

"Another stellar brew from Allagash. Top shelf here, perfect example of the style. Rich in intricacies and incredibly drinkable. One of the greatest American beers brewed in the Belgian style."

"Smells of sweet malts and fruit...pear-like....Great malt flavor, with a fruity midpalate and a nice bitter hop finish. Very easy to drink....Alcohol (8.5%ABV) is well hidden."

"The malts provide a dark leather color with ruby notes, a luxurious tan head, and a bready aroma with a hint of smoke. It is lightly spiced with Liberty hops, and fermented with lager yeast from a monastery brewery near Munich. In the traditional manner, Double Vision is fermented cold (48 F) and lagered a full 10 weeks for smoothness. At over 8% alcohol by volume, it is a deceptively drinkable springtime warmer."
