New Belgium Brewing Company
Lips of Faith Series La Folie Sour Brown Ale
USA-based Rodenbach...? Maybe, but this is a brown ale, solid effort but different. Sour wood based acidic nose, sharp sour cherry, fresh carmel and attractive mild, musty aromas. Palate has sweet malt, sour cherry juice, long soaked in new and neutral oak barrels. Not intensely sour, but enjoyable, not Rodenbach. Perhaps more time could concentrate this vintage?

Apr 5th, 2019Tapped today and put in growler, current 2014 release. Amazingly delicious, one of the best american red/brown ales I have ever had. Extremely rodenbach grand cru esque, but with more rancio and brown flavors. Delicious!
