New Belgium La Folie

A friend offered this and urged me to considered sour beers again. I did, and regretted it. Oaky aroma, almost like a good cape pinotage. Brown with frothy head. Unbelieveably foul taste. Tastes like that vomit in your mouth when you have your first ride in a Puma before going into combat. Beastly finish.

(bottle - 22 oz) Dark brown pour with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is lots and lots of sour funk, earthy and barnyard notes, and a good amount of sour and tart apples. Flavor is incredibly sour. I’m talking lip puckeringly sour. Lots of wood and sour apple notes with a nice and smooth malt backbone. Finishes with a dry and very sour note. Loved it.

Dark brown pour that edges on ruby. Intense nose. Nail polish remover, wow that’s all I smell! Vinager and worcestershire sour. Wow incredibly sour taste. Has some other flavors that are trampled by the overt sourness. Has a chemical aftertaste. I know I should like this but I’m not feeling it. At all. I poured it.

Bottle courtesy of Cavie. Dark reddish brown pour. Smells like grapes, vomit, and paint thinner. Purple Atomic Warhead at about 25% strength. Puckered my asshole a little bit. Thick, sticky mouthfeel like a bad blush wine. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it. I’m not gonna pour it.

22oz bottle purchased earlier this summer down in Orange County. Dark red-brown with a medium beige head. The aroma has a lot of rich tobacco, with tart green apple, pear, and toasted oak as well. The flavor is firmly sour, but has a nice malt balance that provides an earthy chocolate flavor without being too sweet. Lemon and cherry come to mind when thinking of fruit tartness present. Medium thickness on the tongue with ample carbonation. Seems pretty similar to Rodenbach GC, which I should have figured I guess. Great beer with a nice complexity to the sourness.

Bomber. Aroma of alcohol similar to Southern Comfort, notes of sweet malts faint fruit. Flavor is obviously sour, enough to make you salivate and fein for more. Malt complexity tries to balance wild sourness. Whatever it does it works.

aroma of paas easter egg kits and an element of wood that is extremely rich and roast like, very inviting. appearance is nearly opaque though edges admit this beer is actually brown and not black, but intense cloudiness obscures the hue. dark and sometimes pit fruits set this apart from some of the other vinegar bombs ive sampled. puckering sourness is there but devoid of the intense lemon rind and replaced with black cherry and like stone fruits that emulate the deep color of the brew. nose begins to open, and tasting educates the aroma’s detection to deduce more of the same sugary yet caramelized fruits found elsewhere. this makes duchesse look one dimensional!
