Here we have the latest packaging for a returning coolship beer from Allagash Brewing in Portland, ME. This is Coolship La Mûre and it will be a spontaneously-fermented ale aged with blackberries. The beer will hit 6.5%-AbV and you’re looking at the 375ml bottle. Here is the commercial description and label text: This blend of spontaneously fermented beer is aged on blackberries. We begin brewing Coolship la Mûre with Pilsner malt, 40% raw wheat, and aged whole-leaf hops. The unfermented wort is then transferred to a large shallow pan called a coolship, which allows the hot wort to mingle with wild yeast and souring microbiota in the Maine air. After fermenting and aging in French oak wine barrels for over two years, we add blackberries and let it rest for an additional five months. The finished beer’s aroma exhibits hints of lime zest and an herbal, berry-like quality. The tart flavor evokes multiple facets of blackberry, including just-ripened fruit and rich, juicy berry.
