From The Brewer: We believe in Karma. We suspect most of you do, too. It truly is a global concept. Very simply put, “you get what you give.” Inspired by this principle and the wonderful farmhouse and pale ales of Belgium, we’ve created Karma Ale, a decidedly fruity and estery ale, intricate in body and nose, all driven by a unique Belgian yeast strain. Remember, good things DO happen to good people. Here’s to being good!   ABV: 5.2%;  IBUs: 10;  OG: 1.048;  Hops – Sterling;  Malt – Two-row barley, Belgian special B, cara 45, aromatic

From Us:  On this episode of Taste Buds Eli sits in for Dusty, and Erik plays himself.  Plus, we crack open a bottle of Karma.   Does this Karma align with our karma?  Watch and find out!

From The Brewer: Allagash Confluence Ale is created with a mixed fermentation; utilizing our house primary Belgian style yeast in combination with our proprietary Brettanomyces strain. The two yeast strains work in tandem creating a marriage between spice and fruit flavors that ultimately leave a lingering silky mouth feel. Confluence is brewed with a blend of both imported pilsner and domestic pale malts as well as a portion of caramel malt, resulting in a complex malty profile. Tettnang and East Kent Golding hops are added in the brew process to balance the intricate malty profile while adding a sweet and spicy citrus aroma. After fermentation, Confluence undergoes a lengthy aging process in stainless steel tanks to enhance the flavors. Prior to bottling, it is dry hopped with a Glacier hops, providing a pleasant balance of aromas. Confluence is then bottle conditioned and aged in our cellar prior to release.  ABV: 7.5%;  OG: 1064

Recommended Cellaring Temp: 50°F
Recommended Serving Temp: 40-50°F

From Us:  We pop open a bottle of a rather limited Allagash brew. And what do we find inside? A beautiful bevy of Brettanomyces! Watch the episode to find out if this Belgian brew leaves a lingering silky mouth feel.
