COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Allagash Fluxus is so named because it is the first beer brewed in our new brewery. Fluxus marks the change and growth of Allagash Brewing Company, and our passage from the corner of our original building to a new, state of the art brewery. Brewed with Belgian Pilsner Malt and 25% Rye malt, the beer is full-bodied with a spicy, herbal taste. A floral note arises with the addition of Yarrow, which is a flowering plant that was historically used as an alternative to hops. The 10% abv beer is hopped with Warrior and Brewers Gold which impart a subtle bitterness. Finally Fluxus, like all our beers, undergoes a second fermentation, the methode champenoise, by which we naturally carbonate our beer in the bottle.

Tallahassee, Fl - at drowland’s 7/7/12 going away tasting party - thanks to colemanzuber. Dark orange pour, off-white head. Nutty aroma, hint of spices. Flavor is sweet with some yeasty notes, a hint of spiciness. Some spearmint like notes make their way through to make it quite interesting. Mouthfeel is thick and sticky. Nice.

Damico (1920) - Royersford, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 21, 2012
Pours unclear amber malty in color with red clay white head. The aroma brings lightly sweet aged oaky malt notes with some alcohol notes at the end. The flavor brings some aged malt notes with the alcohol presence still there and some starch like flavors.

Hazy amber beer. Dry frothy palate. Immediate vegetable spice that dominates the creamy malt. A bit like ginger but it’s not ginger! Frothy in the mouth, it finishes dry with some warmth. As so often with Allagash - interesting but not quite inspiring.

Pour big thanks to Aaron for the pour. Hazy orange with white head, aroma has notes of flowers, pear, some toffee, biscuit, hints of some slight spice and peach notes. Taste is nice flowers, hints of biscuit, toffee, some pear, peach, hints of spice. Nice brew, all the parts work fairly well!

Bottle @ home, courtesy of Glouglouburp. Thanks so much, Dany! Cloudy, a touch reddish, orange appearance with a pretty good sized, cream colored head. Floral, tea, herbal hoppy, orange citrusy, Belgian yeasty aroma. Tangy orange citrusy, floral, herbal hoppy, dry, somewhat spicy, Belgian yeasty flavor. Pretty tasty beer that’s actually held up quite well. Thanks again Dany!

750ml bottle. Pours a hazy dark golden almost orange color with a large off white head that was mostly lasting. The aroma was sweet bready malts, hints of yeast, fruity and floral with a peppery spiciness. The flavor had quite a bit going on with sweet bready malts, fruity notes, floral (I can only imagine this is the yarrow), hints of alcohol and peppery spices. Good creamy mouthfeel with good carbonation. From notes.
