Commercial Description:
Another year, another batch of Fluxus has been brewed to mark the change and growth of Allagash Brewing. With a new and different recipe, our 2008 batch is a double white beer brewed with spices and fresh grated ginger. A double white beer calls for twice the amount of malted and raw wheat, which casts an elegant cloudiness over this mango-colored beer. The aroma boasts of herbal and minty notes, as well as hints of clove and candied ginger. Fluxus offers a perfectly balanced flavor with a warm, clean finish and a lingering spiciness.

Bottle. Thanks thewolf. Pours hazy straw yellow with a small white head. Aromas of ginger, coriander, brett and wheat. The flavour is spicy and sweet with notes of apples, brett, oranges and ginger.

Pours a hazy amber with not a whole lot of head. The ginger aroma is very evident right off the bat; reminds me of dark ’n stormies. The problem with me (maybe just me) is that I drink a fair share of dark ’n stormies & I don’t really think that the combination of heavy ginger with the taste of a traditional Belgian strong ale goes very well. It does even out after a few sips, but it’s just not for me. Finishes clean, & very well done, & an interesting beer, nonetheless.

Bottle. Aroma is spicy, wheaty, medium sweet. Pretty light golden body, thick white head. Flavorful wheat blend, spicy without the notorious Allagash tendency toward over-sweetness. This is my favorite of Allagash’s offerings so far.
