Of New Belgium Eric’s Ale, says:<\/p>\n

“A sour beer for those who don’t like sour beers. And a fruit beer for those who don’t like fruit beers.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"New<\/a>

aaaaah the beer is falling. No, not really.<\/p><\/div>\n

New Belgium Eric’s Ale
\nAmerican Wild Ale, 7% ABV
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Sayeth the Guys:<\/em><\/p>\n

Ryan: <\/strong>I have had this beer on tap multiple times.\u00a0 Essentially, anytime I’ve run across it – I’ve ordered it.<\/p>\n

Each time it has been delivered in a schooner, looking an apricot or orange in color, and smelling of awesomeness and tart fruit.<\/p>\n

Lots of green apples and peaches in the nose of this beer.<\/p>\n

Now THIS is what a sour beer should taste like.\u00a0 Up front, you get a puckering sourness followed by the aforementioned green apple tartness and some sweet peaches.\u00a0 The tantalizing tartness goes all the way to the back of the throat and finishes with a little acidity.<\/p>\n

This beer is off the charts refreshing.\u00a0 Typically, I like to share bombers, but I may keep one of the New Belgium Eric’s Ale for myself.\u00a0 Sorry Guys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
