New Belgium La Folie

Bottle 2008 from Beertopia. Poured cloudy reddish brown with a medium to large fizzy off-white head htat lasted with good lacing. Heavy complex tart fruit woody aroma. Medium body. Medium sour fruit flavor with medium sour finish of medium to long duration. This is a standout beer.

Bottle: (Thanks BlackForestCO!) Pours a cloudy burgundy with a khaki head. The aroma is earthy and very acetic. Strong vinegar, very mild cocoa notes, raspberry tartness, oak and some bretty funk of leather. Silky body feel, with a very strong acetic character in the flavor- assertive and sharp with sour cherry skin and plenty of funk. Has notes of leather and lemony acidity, and soft oak. when it warms just a touch of dark malt peek through giving it just the slightest nuance of cocoa. A nice sour!

2008 vintage- pours a muddy deep rust colour with a vigorous initial head with excellent lacing. Nose- sweet cherries, wood, green apples and tart citrus. Taste- extremely tart and mouth puckering. Cherry taste doesn’t overpower- well blended earthy malts, horseblanket, minerals, lemon rinds. Finish is very woody and dry. Drinkability is very good with medium to high carbonation.

750ml bottle, bottled 07-3170. Thanks to immy for this one. Pours clear areddish amber in color with thin white head. Aroma strong sour cherries. Taste woody, sweet tarts, fruity and sour with dry finish.

Had it on bottle at Cheecky Monk at Denver. A nice and good tasting sour beer. A good and very complex beer. Colorado has a lot of good breweries
