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.

La Folie was my original gateway sour and it almost pushed me away from sours permanently. Fortunately, I stuck with it and went back to try it later and realized it was amazing. At a party a couple of years ago, I got to drink a 2003 and 2006 La Folie. They were still AMAZING.
