Commercial Description:
Interlude- somewhere between the leap and the landing. It’s a jazz solo, the riffing, the unexpected improvisation. Rooted in a Belgian theme, Interlude soars from a second fermentation with our own Brettanomyces yeast. Then takes five in French oak wine barrels that once cellared fine Merlots and Sirahs. And then bottle conditioning. In all, an outrageous effort to make a bottle of beer. But then, if you prefer to swing with magnificent red wine notes and funky farmhouse flavors dancing in the undercurrents of a crisp, remarkable brew, then Interlude has that thing. C’est le gout, toujours! It’s the taste that is always an adventure.

I would describe this beer as gueze light. aroma is full of brett and sourness, with fruit and oak in the backround. poured a golden color with good clarirty with amble head and carbonation. flavor is really nice, cross between a stong golden and gueze. sourness and brett dominate intially, but give way to lots of earliness and a spicy backround. full nicely carbonated and digestiable in the mouth. Another excellent beer by Allagash.

Bière #24 au Mondial 08 (30/5/08), bouteille. Orange cuivée un peu brumeuse, petit collet. Arome d’agrume et de fruits sûrette, des notes de caramel anglaise. Goût sucré de caramel au début, mais devient tres vite bien sûrette par des notes de fruit, qui reste assez longtemps, avec une touche d’épice. Tout comme l’Odyssey, elle n’était originalement sur la liste du Mondial, je suis heureux qu’ils ont rajouté!

2007 Bottle: There was lots of carbonation in this bottle. Very crisp and refreshing with a wonderful herbal funkiness running throughout. It was well-balanced with plenty of flavor running through the midpalate and long finish. Quite a nice way to end the night.

750 ml bottle. December 2007 vintage. Pours a dark orange/copper color with a small off-white head that diminished relatively quickly. Aroma was mostly doughy/yeasty and oak notes with some malt coming through as well. Taste started out with the tangy doughy/yeasty flavor, moved on to a nice almost wine-like oak flavor and finished with the yeaty banana flavor. A very nice and subtle progression. Alcohol was hardly detectable. For the style and flavor relatively light body with a decent dose of pinpoint carbonation. A really great beer. Nice delicate flavors. The best of the Barrel Aged Series from Allagash that I have had. Would like to get my hands on another bottle.

2005 vintage tasted around the time the 2006 vintage was released. These notes were found, and they’re short, but sweet: "very red winey, yeasty/brett/apple aroma". This is definitely one to savor!

Nice sunset orange in color with a head that faded quickly. Sour apple nose. Upfront sweetness folllowed by a small hint of sourness. Candy sugar is greatly balanced by the tartness on the sides. Very nice.
