Beer #7 -- Eric's Ale

Eric's Ale, details later.

Updated with details:
Lips of Faith Series -- Eric's Ale, 7%abv, 22oz bottle
New Belgium Brewing Company
Fort Collins, Colorado

I'll say it -- New Belgium makes crap beer. This one is an exception, and of course, they don't make it anymore.

From the handout:
Eric's Ale is a combination of a dry, sour beer beer aged up to three years in oak foeders with a semi-sweet, higher alcohol base beer.

This was quite tasty with a nice light sweet/sour balance, and would make a great intro to sour beers for those not ready for the super-sour ones. Of course that's all moot since they'd rather make crap beer for the masses.
