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 the Belgian beer fest 09. Reddish/amber pour. Tart, funky, cherries, honey, and sour apple. Pretty good.

WeeHeavySD (3356) - San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA - MAR 29, 2009
Tap @ PP Belgian Fest 09. Pours reddish with a tan head. Nose is sweet and tart, taste is tart and funky and overall nice.

mspindler (489) - Alta Loma, California, USA - MAR 29, 2009
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.

JoeTheYounger (1101) - Claremont, California, USA - MAR 29, 2009
Cloudy dark amber color with a sour cherry smell. Mild sweet tangy flavor that coats the mouth with a great after taste. Pretty good stuff. First beer of the day at the Belgium Beer festival, Pizza Port Carlsbad CA.

On tap at the 2009 Pizza Port Strong ale fest I thought it was a nice pairing: sour and raspberries. it worked well for me.

aplusbreaks (330) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - MAR 20, 2009
Draft @ BSAF 2009. Pours a reddish brown with a small head. Aromas of sour fruit, sweet malt and honey. Flavors are sweet up front with more sour fruit and honey. Decent stuff, nothing to go crazy over.

That1Guy (1747) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - MAR 1, 2009
Crushed with Jakebra at BSAF. Ooh, never knew tart, sour raspberries could be so delicious. Got some honey in there that’s smooth as hell. Excellent.

JorisPPattyn (7310) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - 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.
