From http://embracethefunk.com/2012/06/26/lauren-salazar-of-new-belgium-qa/ Le Terroir shares the base sour beer (Felix) with Eric’s Ale, Kick and Tart Lychee. We are doing a major overhaul and expansion on the wood cellar. We had to empty and let all the Felix barrels dry out- so we washed them all out, inoculated with other barrels and filled a few weeks ago- saying that- we have about 1-2 years before we see anything with Felix as its base beer, let alone a huge production like Terroir (100% sour)- Eric’s is more likely (60% sour) but not for a while… Which sucks, Because Terroir was effin' awesome.
That's really too bad. La Folie, La Terroir, Eric's Ale, and (to a lesser extent) Tart Lychee are their all-star beers. I did try some non-Felix sour beers up at NB a few weeks ago that were good, too.
Love this beer. Doesn't age super well though (last one I had a few weeks ago wasn't bad, but definitely wasn't the beer I love), which has me eagerly awaiting a new batch as well!
I tried Tart Lychee for the first time and thought it tasted like champagne....not what I wanted in a beer. Weird.
