    I got a call from my store that this hit the shelves today. It sounds very interesting. Here is what was written on their Facebook page:

    Bottles of Fluxus 2013 just arrived in the Retail Store!

    Brewed differently every year to commemorate our anniversary, this year's Fluxus is a porter brewed with a blend of 2-row, coffee and chocolate malts with blood orange pulp and zest. It was hopped using Perle, Tettnang and Glacier varieties. It was then fermented with a Belgian Abbey yeast.

    Congrats to Allagash brewer Patrick Saville for creating this year's Fluxus!

    Did anyone grab a bottle recently?

    PS - Can a mod correct the spelling in the title? Thanks!

    I want to pick up a bottle, but the closest store by me that has it is over 1.5 hours away.

    They sold out quickly and were way out of my price range for now.

    I bought the last one and it was not very good, and was close to $20. Won't be making that mistake again.

    At $20 for a cork and cage, it needs to be really good. It should never be something you have to work to finish.

    Very much enjoyed the taster of this I had at the Allagash tasting room a couple weeks ago, but the Fluxus beers are priced just a bit too high for me for what they are.

    I was able to get a pour on tap and I thought it was pretty solid, but not $20 solid.

    Had on tap last night and thought it was really good, but like many people have said not $20s a bottle good.
