According to Lauren, the imaginator of this pucker-pleasing ale, Lychee fruit is so insanely sweet and flavorful you almost can’t stand it alone. Sour to the rescue! Tart Lychee is brewed with exotic lychee fruit and cinnamon, and then blended with sour Felix from our wood cellar for a citrusy, tropical sip that attacks with an invigorating tart bite. Explore the tropics, but brace for the wild.

On tap at St. Augustine’s during New Belgium 25th anniversary celebration. Pours a hazy pale golden with a white head. Aroma is fruity with lychee notes. Same character sour, tarte taste. Crispy. Ver good.

On tap at Bitter Creek Alehouse Milky beige yellow with a full dense off white head. Tart fruity flavors. Jucyfruit gum and apricots maybe. Lychee fruit I suppose. Soft unfiltered palate short lived fairly intense tart flavors. Interesting

Had this @ the magic tree, tap. Cloudy almost muddy. Pale. Ever so slight tart nose. Taste is somewhat mildly tart but was expecting more. Not bad, a little let down but make no mistake, this is pretty good. There is a little bitter medicine that I find unattractive in the finish. A bit of a turn off for wild beers.

22 ounce bottle.
Pours a hazy straw yellow with plenty of long lasting foam.
Both fruity tartness and sweetness in the nose along with cinnamon.
More tartness in the taste than the sweet notes but it’s still on the mild side. Cinnamon adds an interesting twist. The fruit I would call tropical.
Fairly light bodied with medium carbonation.
This is a good one.

Sampled on draft at Hou Thou this beer poured a cloudy orange-peach color with a small foamy white head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was tart and sour with chalk, vinegar and lychee. The flavor was tart and sour with yeast, a bit of chalk, perfume and lychee. Medium length finish. Medium body. Ok.
