Good to know
Allagash Brewing Company, pioneers in American craft beer since 1995, launched the Fluxus line to explore spontaneous fermentation akin to Belgian lambics, exposing wort overnight in a coolship to capture wild yeasts and bacteria.
Tasting notes
- Nose: Pronounced funky barnyard notes with hints of lemon zest, hay, and subtle orchard fruit.
- Palate: Bright tartness leads into earthy brettanomyces character, green apple acidity, and light herbal undertones; medium body with lively carbonation.
- Finish: Dry and lingering, with a puckering acidity and faint phenolic spice.
Notable details
- Production: Coolship-fermented for natural wild yeast inoculation, aged in foeders, non-filtered.
- Lineage: From Portland, Maine's Allagash Brewing, known for Belgian-inspired beers.
- Availability: Draft-only in select markets, often sold as growler fills.
Serving suggestions
Best served chilled in a tulip glass to capture aromas; add a splash of water to mellow tartness if desired. Pairs well with sharp cheeses, oysters, or light salads.
