Twelve Beers of Christmas - Night Eight


Allagash Coolship Resurgam
(Bottled 8/31/17)

Tonight I decided to reach out to one of my hometown favorites.  Coolship Resurgam is Allagash's own interpretation of a spontaneous fermented beer that is inoculated using wild yeast found in the air right here in our great state of Maine! Until very recently you had to visit the brewery and depending on the limited nature of the release even wait in line to obtain a beer from their coolship series, but this past month for the first time ever it was available at retail locations across Maine and beyond!

On the pour its golden orange color with two fingers of white foam. The funky stonefruit and soft inviting citrus peel aromas waft through the air. On the palate it is focused and full of basement funk throughout. The carbonation is in perfect contrast to the medium mouthfeel and adds great structure from beginning to end.

Nectarine, orange pith, wet wood, basement funk, satsuma mandarin, cobwebs, hay, yellow plum skins, melon rind.
