Blonde Ale aged in New Belgium La Folie barrels for 23 months. Batch 001 is softer on the palate than Batch 001 - PH1. The PH1 batch was aged in one of New Belgium's favorite barrels. Refermented in the bottle.

Bottle thanks to JMFP and the Payne Train. Pours orange gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is citrus, wood, funky, vinous. Slick body, funky, wood, citrus, nice tartness, enjoyed this.

LCRBM2: Caramel and citrus in the strong aroma. Very strong lemon and grapefruit flavor. An upcoming sourness hides the obvious hop character. Lemon and sour cream in the aftertaste. What a taste bomb!

Bottle. Clear dark yellow/brownish pour with a fleeting white head. Big malt and vinous bouquet. Really mellow with vinous notes dominating. Malt, oak, and vanilla undercurrents. Slight oxidation but not bad at all. It’s certainly not as tart as other batches. Side by side with batch 6 and there is a stark difference.

Hazy gold beer. Dry crisp palate. Very sour beer, just the right side of total lemon juice. - ie just about drinkable. A small amount of woodiness provides some relief. Not for me thanks.

37.5 cL bottle, courtesy of KimJohansen. Pours hazy orange with a fizzy off-white head. Solid citric to acidic aroma. Barnyard and horseblanket too. Citric, orange fruity, apple and solid fruity flavoured. Lingering and smooth and fruity flavoured, citric and orange fruity with a nice wooden note following. Dry and wooden dryness into a lasting fruity and dry fruity finish. Lasting fruity impression, quite fresh. Biting acidic finish, quite tart.

Thanks to boboski for opening this brew. Pours golden to copper with thin white head. The aroma is a smack in the face with sour tart notes and oak planks covered with lemon juice. The taste starts out like the aroma with a load of tartness laced with a ribbon of sweetness. The oak enters at the roof of my mouth. Then I get salt covered olives chased with lemon rind and musk. Interesting.
