Apr 24, 2008 Draught No head, purplish cloudy orange-brown liquid. Very fruity, blackcurrant/raspberry; fruit- and other woody acids. Again raspberry/blackcurrant; quite tart (served too cold), but it misses some obvious fruit OR wood. Sharp, tart, I suspect pretty much alcohol. Nice, if it hasn’t taken all the good sides from both.

May 6, 2007 Boulder Strong Ale Fest 2007. Body is medium amber. Aroma is notes of cherry, berries, honey, and wood. Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly to moderately acidic. Finish is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery/syrupy texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. Unfortunately the sum of the parts is less than either component...La Folie is nice, and Redstone’s straight mead is nice, but this is just random. Not bad, mind you...just doesn’t work that well together.

Jan 14, 2008 8th Big Beers, Belgians, and Barleywines. Pours clear light ruby with spare, fizzy, white head, diminishing with no lacing. Aroma is light malt (hay, straw), light hops (flowers), light yeast (earth) with notes of cherry and honey. Medium bodied, creamy texture, soft carbonation, and a sweet finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness. A nice blend of the two; La Folie bitters up the mead nicely.

Oct 2, 2009 Draft @ Falling Rock, Denver. Sits for hours in the glass illuminating the room in red. Atop is but a lone halo...everlasting. The nose was of sour fruit undercut with sweetness reminiscent of honey. Flavors exhibited a sweet and sour balance allowing the fruity raspberry and strawberry notes to rise...This is some drinkable stuff, but it aint no la folie. Its akin to a syrup in a berliner weisse...a good berliner weisse needs a syrup, not. La folie? Come on, motherfucker...LaFolie needs syrup like..uh...I’m bad at analogies.

Oct 9, 2009 Murkey brown red pour w/ a tiny but dense white head w/ thick lacing. Huge sweet fruit & heavy aroma hints of black cherry koolaid a tiny subtle tartness is present. Full well coated palate. Flavor is dominated by black cherry koolaid, the subtle tart is barely noticeable, I couldn’t imagine LaFolie being over powered like this.. very 1 dimensional and frankly not very good. The subtle wood and tart show up a tiny bit in the finish; drinkable, but very disappointing.
