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.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of BrianK. Hazy golden with an off-white head. Sweetish herbal aroma. Quite full-bodied, sweetish herbal with an abundance of pale malts. Sticky - almost fat texture. Very subdued bitterness with a somewhat astringent, herbal finish. 190408

Bottle. Pours clear dark yellow with a small, fizzy, white head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, straw, meal), average hops (flowers, perfume), average yeast (horse blanket, earth) with notes of alcohol, bubble gum, and pears. Medium bodied, slick texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.

Pours a transparent deep bronze golden with a well-lacing dense froth of off-white head. Has a sweet caramely floral nose with a touch of honey and yarrow. Body starts with good fullness and sweet biscuity Belgian malt with a spicy, earthy rooty flavor that provides a bitter balance, before a doughy yeasty finish with some alcoholic warmth. An interesting and fairly complex brew.

Golden color with a spicy aroma dominated by citrus and a whole spice rack. Flavor is excessively spicy, and dominates all else to its detriment. This one was ruined for me by being excessively spiced. Interesting, but excessive.

Cloudy golden-orange colour. The aroma is herbal, spicy (mint, chamomile, cinnamon) and toasty with breadcrusty malts and rye. Huge herbal character - must be the yarrow - with lots of chewy rye, full maltiness. Big and rounded with a peppery finish. Very unique, well-balanced brew with accents of both Belgium and gruit. Impressive effort, muddled only by a slighlty overt yeastiness.
