Vapeur En Folie




Vapeur En Folie...$10.99 / 750ml
Originally concieved in 1986 to be a more relaxed, "sociable" and less sour brew than the Saison de Pipaix, the Vapuer en Folie has become its own completely complex beer. With aging, dry sourness with strong citrus flavors take over the beers finish, making it great with food.  Vapuer Folie (translated it's "Madness"or "Folly") is a unique lager brewed with cumin, a moderate amount of hops and sweet orange peel.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: Bright gold color with no real head unless forced.

Aroma: Orange notes in a light malt aroma.

Flavor: Starts with a citric bite and a powerful sourness which gains a refreshing quality which serves to accentuate the clean but complex, sweet and dry blend of hops, malt, fruit and spice.

Finish:  Gentle acidic cran-apple sourness. Overall: Wonderfully complex, full-flavored and refreshing ale with an amazing balance.
