This is a limited release beer for Folly's 5th Birthday. It is a "raw sour saison" soured with lacto helveticus (a lactic-acid producing bacterium usually used in the production of Swiss and Emmental cheese), fermented with a house yeast blend dubbed the "bippidy" blend, hopped with Citra and Columbus and fruit finished with Opuntia, a fruit from the cactus family commonly referred to as prickly pear.

Colour: Hazy with a ruby pomegranate colour and a short head
Smell: Quite yeasty and bready, then some red fruits, agave syrup and pineapple
Taste: Decently tart with pear, guava, bread dough, medium level of carbonation
Finish: A short zap of tropical fruits and then a faint lasting note of fresh pears and light grassiness

At close to 7% ABV this is still dangerously drinkable. I wish this wasn't a one-off because this is a damn good beer and possibly one the best sours/saisons that Folly have put out in the past two years. Wonderful stuff!
