New Belgium Le Fleur Misseur

Drat at Liar’s Club. I really enjoyed this one. Floral aromas with hints of honeysuckle and lavender. Flavors were similar with floral notes and more sweet lavender. Very interesting flavor complexity. Spicy and peppery. Fruity and yummy. I liked it more than I had expected.

Tasted 2/29/08. 750ml bottle, 2007 edition. Heady citrus earthy hop white caverous head. Quickly dissipating head. Musty oaky and smooth. Good effervescence. Smooth, so smooth. Big and fruity. Fresh yet melded. Flavors of citrus and red berries. Touch cereal grains. Good dry and musty. Cinnamon peppery and spicy. So much smoother than the other Sours. So much milder. Touch bready yeast. Easy with a great flavor. What an opportunity! Thanks to Ryan from NBB for this total treat!

On tap at Liar’s Club in Alpine. What a great little treat to have in the presence of all of those Belgians that were visiting from out of town. Good flavor with some peppery spice. Very smooth and creamy.

Pour is ever so slightly hazed golden yellow with a thin sticky white head that left a slight delicate amount of lacing...smell is slightly sweet and funky at first with some horseblankety brett-ish notes...also some sweet bubblegum as well...maybe hints of lemon zest...mouthfeel is lively and far from slight...some nice barnyard flavors with straw and hay...then faint hints of earth...light light notes of tartness come out...some nice residual bubblegummy sweetness in the finish as some light grassy bitterness rounds out the sweetness and tartness...definately Orval-esque, but far from a mediocre clone...a wonderful interpretation!!!!

Another very special treat. This beer pours a slightly hazy golden with a thick creamy head with sticky lacing. Floral and spicy nose with hints of sweat bread. The floral come through in the flavor. As it rolls across the palate it develops into a nice tartness in the finish. Delightful beer
