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.

On tap at Falling Rock in Denver, served in a wine glass. Dark reddish-brown color with a small beige head and good lacing. Aroma is berries and honey. Both sweetness and tartness are evident. Flavor is mostly sweet, but with a little wild tartness, with raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, black cherry, honey, and sweet malt. Medium body with somewhat prickly carbonation and a smooth palate.

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.

Notes from 4 ounce sample at Pizza Port Belgian Beer Fest in March 2009. Light aroma of fruit and berries. Had the essence of Kool-Aid. Tart taste of cherry and a bit of soy sauce.

On tap at Belgian Beer fest 2009. Excellent fruity black raspberry aroma. Sweet. Lots of lactic acid. Easy to drink.

On tap at the Pizza Port Belgian Beer Party. Pours a red amber with a small head. Aroma is fruity and funky. Some wood and some sweetness. Flavor is sweet and tart, cherries and funk. The honey and mead qualies stand out nicely and balance out the funky sourness of the La Folie. Sharp on the palate. Prefer the La Folie stand alone, But this is still pretty good.
