Oct 28, 2007 Pours a ruby brown with no head. Smell is tart with some of the oak coming through. Taste is all sour. This is liquid Sweet Tarts. Not a whole lot more there. Just a smooth, not overly carbonated sour beer. Decent, rather one dimensional.

Oct 23, 2007 Cloudy amber in color. Vanilla and tartness (vinegar) in the nose. Oak for sure and tart in your mouth. A little wheat and cherries in there too.

Oct 20, 2007 Aroma is a sour malt scent. Color is an amber/brown with good carbonation and nice head. Taste is a strong tart flavor on a medium body with a mild malt taste. Finishes with a bold sour taste that lingers on. I have not had anything like it, but I like it.

Oct 5, 2007 My immediate reaction to the La Folie was something like "Oh no! I do not like this!" Of course, as things usually go with great beers, I started warming up to the stuff and, eventually, began not only to like it, but love it. Once I got used to the weird champagne and wine qualities and the lip-puckering taste, I realized that La Folie was just a damn fine brew.

Oct 2, 2007 Thanks to theisti for the bottle. Clear ruby/brown color with a large head. Good lacing and retention. Aroma is balsamic vinegar and tart cherries. Taste is beyond funky tart with cherries, dust and wood. Great beer.

Oct 2, 2007 Updated: Aug 16, 2008Very vinegar acidic initial aroma to the beer. Leaves little to no head in the glass. Taste is initially sour acidity, but develops under tones of vinegar, oak, a very, very slight malt, and cherry. Not overly complex, as I think the acidity overwhelms the other aspects of the beer for the most part, but its intensity and challenging nature make the beer fun to try.

May 08 bottle:
Aroma is sour, red fruit, lactic. Fruity and fizzy. Lots of cherry and dull fruit in the nose (probably cereal malt) that is still somehow vibrant.
Taste is very oaky, red fruit, malty and some cereal. Very tart.
Finish is slick and a bit buttery, but a lot of tartness, some abrasive sourness, and finally some crispness.
This is awesome. What was I thinking in my first rating?
