"2013" - Our 2013 Anniversary beer is collaboration amongst friends, Allagash and in’finiti fermentation & distillation (Now known as Liquid Riot). Given our focus on hoppy American ales and Allagash and in’finiti’s focus on Belgian-inspired ales, we thought it only natural to blend the two styles. The result is what you might call a hoppy Belgo-American Pale Ale. 2013 is actually a blend of two separate fermentations, one, with our American ale yeast and one with Belgian yeast (Allagash house strain and a Trappist strain preferred by in’finiti). The “American” version was dry hopped with Falconer’s Flight and the “Belgian” version with Saaz. Both were then blended together to taste. The result, a hoppy pale ale with notes of both citrus (American hops) and spice (Belgian yeast and continental hops).

Bottle @ Greg’s palace courtesy of JBPortland. Thanks Josh! Pours a hazy orange appearance with an off white head. Quite spicy, herbal, a bit dank hoppy, cracker, biscuity aroma with a fair amount of citrus. Juicy orange, mango, lemon juicy, toasty malty, slightly bready yeasty, somewhat spicy flavor with a pretty smooth malty finish. Nice hops and quite malty. Pretty good.
