I was not as blown away as I thought I would be.....not as much acidity as I though was necessary for balance....decent peach flavor.......on tap at Hamilton’s in sd

Draft at Falling Rock. Dark ruby/orange in color, mostly clear with a very light amount of haze. The prickliness on the tongue and medium acidity upon first sip is very inviting, and the dried fruit/peach skin/fuzzy funk of the natural fruit meat and pulp is downright amazing. Full, frothy body, rich and prickly and acidic on the tongue, the La Folie is clearly evident, and integrates very well with the natural sourness of the peaches. Quiet, pure, real, and true throughout. Truly impressive.

Draft at Falling Rock Tap House in Denver. Pours a hazy peach with a small ring of foam floating on top. Nice lacing. Aroma is sour and fruity with a touch of peach/apricot twang. Flavor is more of the same, with the sourness taking center stage and the peach adding a nice fruit character but not taking over. Alcohol is not noticeable. Interesting take on a fruit beer; it almost takes a step into lambic territory.

Tap @ O’Brien’s San Diego. A clear glowing orange pour.....no head. Lots of sour peach on the aroma, flavor was very sour and tangy.

Bottled special. Bright coppery gold. Gorgeous sourness everywhere, not very peachy: the rind and its intensity comes through with a dry oaky finish that is long and gorgeously astringent.
