On April 11, 2016, Team BeerAdvocate ventured to Portland, Maine, to blend the official Return of the Belgian Beer Fest beer at Allagash Brewing Company. After pulling samples from several oak and stainless steel tanks and experimenting with different combinations, we ended up with two blends (Papier Doré & Porte Noir), a light and a dark, to represent two sides of the sour flavor experience—and because we just couldn’t pick a favorite.
Papier Doré
French for “gold paper,” and referencing La Fleur en Papier Doré, a tiny café in Brussels that was frequented by surrealists, the lighter of the two blends combines Farm to Face, a Pale Ale aged with Pediococcus, Lactobacillus, and peaches; a yet-to-be-named golden Brettanomyces beer; and a 7-year-old oak barrel-aged beer to add depth of flavor.
