Allagash Confluence

Please allow me to unite this 2014 Allagash Confluence Ale with this gorgeous glass for today's Pint Break. As we join together to celebrate this Belgian-style ale, let's embrace its marriage of two yeast strains, leaving a strong, loving and devoted finish.

Allagash created Confluence Ale using in-house Belgian-style yeast in congruence with their own Brettanomyces strain. The two beautiful yeast strains come together to create barnyard bliss. Yee-ha!

Floral and fruit notes linger along with the pungent brett funk as the pilsner, pale and caramel malts create a well balanced profile with the Tettnang and East Kent Golding hops. In the end, the dry hopped Glacier addition leaves a hint of wild bitterness as this beer stands true to the effervescent Belgian Golden Strong Ale style.   

May the yeast be with you.
