Ahhh... that would have been great, but unfortunately I've since moved out of the Chicago area.
Good call to both of you on the citra vs. cascade. I'll have to try swapping out for citra the next time I brew this.
That is exactly what I did the last time I brewed this recipe and it turned out great. 1 pouch of Roselare to start and another at 6 months. No secondary.
Blending is a great idea. Le Terroir is definitely my favorite of the Lips of Faith series and possibly one of my favorite beers of all time. The level of sourness with the dry hops are perfect together.

If anyone is looking to get in on it, shoot me a PM.
When it hit the market this year I went around to my local liquor stores and bought up a case and a half.
I did a side-by-side tasting and it's almost spot on. Mine was clearer (it has been in a bottle for over a year) and has a bit less hop aroma (for the same reason) but it's incredibly...
I used a 15 month old cake and had an issue with enough sacc being still viable for initial fermentation. However, the sourness on that beer was awesome, because all the souring bugs were still viable and present in large quantities. All I did was add another packet of Roselare blend (you...
