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. Body-orange yellow with a medium ring of bubbles. Nose-urea, public bathroom. Taste-dirty, lightly acidic, light orange, soap, high CO2, soft, cottony, gauzy, raw coriander seed, cottonseed oil, lemon oil. Overall very oily, light acid. Weird. Words cannot describe this thing.

The pour reveals a hazy orange color with a thin white head. Very pleasant aroma of herbs with yeast and fruits. The flavor’s focal point is the herbs, which are very interesting, there is also some spices, yeast and fruits, pleasant dryness tags along. The body is medium with a creamy texture and gentle carbonation. This beer is another testament of Allagash’s competence at brewing interesting and original belgian beers.

Bottle sampled. Pours hazy golden with an off-white head. Aroma of belgian style spices, citrus, and fruit. The flavor is slightly sweet, fruit, spices, citrus, and a mild bitter finish. Good thick body, a little metallic tasting. Good, but not their best work.

This one had nice hints of rye and a strange taste that i think is yarrow. it was supurb in many ways. i don’t think that i could drink 2 pints of this, so it loses points on the drinkability for me.

Objectively speaking: A creative beast made by masterful hands. Experimental and passion worthy.
I like: Gorgeous pour, large fluffy white head. The yarrow works beautifully, there is great potential to this plant as a substitute to hops during the shortage. Dry, sharp palate despite the malt’s thickness and underlying sweetness. Balanced to perfection. Lasting finish, pungent, herbal, floral, lingering and complex. Generous cerealic chewiness. Just tasty and racy. Excellent lively mouthfeel.
I dislike: I’m very impressed. I wish I had gathered more from the rye, I never noticed it was there.

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruit - especially peaches. The falvor is sweet mlaty with fruity notes of peaches, citrysy notes of hops as well as light notes of alcohol, leading to a dry bitter finish.

(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
