Lips of Faith Vrienden (from 22 oz bottle) is an interesting beer that I think suffers from having such odd ingredients in it. Other LoF sours I enjoyed, especially Le Terroir, but this one seemed to fall a little flat. The hibiscus flowers provide a nice bit of aroma in the nose and but really contribute very little to actual taste and the endive give a weird vegetably bitterness like broccoli water. I was not terribly impressed and would not seek this out again in the future.

Alright, let's see what two years did here...

Pours a bubbly clear copper with a vigorous initial tow fingers of thick, meringue style foam that falls to a solid quilt of the same. Smells pretty simple: some peppercorn, light malts, some hints of brett (sweet, milky and funky) with just a slight floral note. Nice fruity flavor up front lends some lemon and pineapple juice with woody malt and a hint of tartness in the finish. Medium on light syrup with liberal, but quick dissipating carb and an off dry finish. Tasty beer, but nothing special.
