New Belgium Lips of Faith (Erics Sour Peach Ale)

Brewed by New Belgium Brewing Company
Style: Sour Ale
Fort Collins, Colorado USA

BBF 07. Tap. Pours a surprisingly clear, mod carbonation, nice thick white head over a peachy orange body. Wierd funk, cat piss, peach, brett, and sour tartness- a bit of cobwebbiness as well. Good sour peach flavor, but not intense or sharp like the festina lents, and no where close to a fou foune sourness. Light sweet peach flavor- some brett, and funk, and a bit earthy-dirtiness. Moderate to heavy sourness, but nothing too sharp or over-the-top on this one as I was expecting. Still, it was cool to try and I liked it.

(Draught) Pours a sparkling clear golden body with a small quickly diminishing white head. Aroma of barnyard, apricot, peach, mango, and wood. Flavor of peach, lactic sourness, lemon, and Granny Smith apples with a somewhat sticky mouthfeel.

NOTF 07. Tap. Pours golden with no head. Aroma is funky with some sweetness from the peaches. Flavor is very tart at first, but finishes with a mild sweetness.

Bready and yeasty aroma, but somewhat sour. Golden color with no head. Similar to 2 Below, but sour with hint of peach. Perfect sour finish.

GABF 2007. Pours to a bright, glowing golden body with a white head. The aroma is tart peaches and nectarines with a light barnyard character. The flavor is a tart peach and funky grain with lactic acid. The palate is tart, refreshing, and clean.

On tap at Falling Rock. Pours a slightly hazy yellow with white head floating on top. Fruitstand aroma. Not as sour as La Folie. Hints of peach, apricot. Velvety mouthfeel.

On tap. Poured a deep golden color with a slight white head. Aroma of peaches. Nice sweet/sour peach flavor with yeast and malt flavors. Very crisp amd begs you to drink more. I’m not big on fruit beers, but I liked this.

swirl of peach, nectarines and apricots. clear golden. tart sour kicks off with faint yeast and slowly sweetens through the finish. nice citrus complexity.
