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.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of peaches and ginger. The flavor is very sweet with notes of peaches conserved in sugar and malt, leading to a very fruity finish.
