La Folie

La Folie
New Belgium Brewing
Sour brown ale (Flanders Red on BeerAdvocate)
On tap at Minneapolis Town Hall brewery on 10/30/2010, served in a New Belgium snifter.

Appearance 4.5/5
Dark brown and clear with a good looking light brown head; good head retention and lacing.

Aroma 3.5/5
The aroma is sharp, pungent, tart, and slightly woody with no particular fruit shining through. Some softness is noted later but still quite harsh.

Taste 3.5/5
Tart, refreshing, acidic, with a vinous astringent finish. One dimensional in my opinion.

Mouthfeel 4/5
Good carbonation and medium body go well with the refreshing character.

Drinkability 4/5
Drinkability is alright.
