On this episode of SBR, I review Le Terroir from New Belgium Brewing, and I give you some tips on how to describe beer in your own way and not fall into d-baggery.

The Review:
Lips of Fatih Le Terroir
Brewed by New Belgium Brewing Co.
Fort Collins, CO
Style | ABV:
Sour Ale | 7.5%
Description: Le Terroir: French, meaning from the terrain, soil, land, ground, earth. You may have heard it as a wine term speaking of the environmental conditions of the vineyard, the pH of the soil, even the slope of the land. But beer has it too, especially a New Belgium sour beer, which oozes terroir from the pores of the wooden foeders we age it in. They produce a base beer that's golden-colored with a soft overripe peach aroma and just the right amount of tart. And after 3 years in the foeders, you can bet it has some nice earthy tones. Round out that fruity base with even more unique fruity hops like Amarillo and citra, and this beer may just have more terroir than your classiest wine. And with the hop burp, compliments of the dry-hopping, Le Terroir is definitely classy!
