Sour Wood-Aged Beer

The New Belgium La Folie Ale is Back for the Spring Season

— March 27, 2014 — Lifestyle

A good quality sour ale that will enlighten beer lovers to the joy of such potent flavor, it is released every spring as a proper welcome to the warmer weather and sunshine.

Spending one to three years in French wooden barrels, the New Belgium La Folie beer is wood-conditioned, which has a delightful tartness and finishes on a dry note. A mouth-puckering treat to say the least, this beer boasts sour apple notes, a dry effervescence and earthy undertones. How could someone not want to try it?
