La Folie, French for "the folly," is a beer steeped in New Belgium brewing tradition. This wood-aged, sour brown spends one to three years in big oak barrels known as foeders. And when the beer finally hits the glass, La Folie is sharp and sour, full of green apple, cherry, and plum-skin notes. Pouring a deep mahogany, the mouthfeel will get you puckering while the smooth finish will get you smiling. Not a beer for the timid, La Folie is a sour delight that will turn your tongue on its head. Find out why it's considered one of the best sour beers around.

Flaska från SB. Massor av plommon, körsbär och fat. Tydlig syra men ändå len och mjuk i munnen. I eftersmaken kommer sötsyrliga gula russin, vanilj, söt tobak och fat fram tydligare. Komplex och riktigt snygg smakbild. Ett av de bästa rödöl jag druckigt. Så fantastiskt gott.

Bottle from Elmanana. Many thanks! Red colour, white foam. Medium carbonation. Aroma of red berries, balsamico, vinegar, lemon. bitter earthy notes. Refreshing, but not very well balanced. I like Rodenbach Vintage much better!

2015 vintage. Dark amber color with big nice beige head. Aroma of apples, dark malts, a bit tobacco/burnt malts even. Taste is heavy, malty, fruits, very dry, a bit taninic, lots of wood, not too sour. Carbonation is foamy. Nice, but underwhelming. Not Top 10 Sour Red material imho. I hear other vintages are better, but this is also quite young.

Flaska från SB, årgång 2015. Smak och doft av äpple, körsbär, röda vinbär, trä, jäst, klarbär med toner av vinäger och plommonkärnor. Lagom sötma, fin syrlighet och balans, torr, beska med smak av ekträ, jordgubbar, jord och röda bär. Frisk och fruktig. Mycket gott!
