New Belgium's 2013 La Folie came out last week - that's a mighty fine beer, grab some while you can. Just saying.

Ok, so I'm going to be brewing my blonde kriek soon and have adjusted the ibu's to be around 10. I kind of wanted to split off 1 gallon of the blonde base to drink as is. My question is, will a blonde ale taste bad/weird with only 10 ibu's? Should I just keep the whole batch together? It...
