Today we have the new packaging for Belfius from Allagash brewing in Portland, ME. This beer is a saison ale blended with a barrel-aged spontaneously fermented ale (aka Coolship beer aged in oak for up to 3-years). The beer will remain at 6.5%-AbV and in 375ml bottles and here is the commercial description from Allagash:
Mildly tart and quite refreshing, Belfius is a blend of our Saison and our 100% spontaneously fermented, oak aged, Coolship beer. The finished beer is golden in color and has an aroma of peaches, tart apples and a touch of barnyard funk. The flavor is fruit forward with a background maltiness that strikes a great balance with the tartness found throughout this beer. The gentle carbonation makes this medium bodied ale incredibly easy to drink, finishing with a palate-cleansing dryness that leaves you wanting more.
