    Look up the reviews for a better idea. They are a great resource. And find a few fellow BA's whom you have a similiar taste profile with and follw their reviews.

    There are no short answers. Do your homework.

    a penalty for such silliness is you must ship me 10 of each RR sour and then I will tell you the difference

    If you're able to find them, get them all. You won't be disappointed.

    Wow, no easy answer....Hmmm, they are a combo of different style beers aged in different style barrels whether they are oak or wine barrels...that was sooooo hard to put into words....CHEERS

    Yeah, but saying that Bud is different because it's easier to get, but it still has the same bubbles, would also fall under your definition. Why go to a library to have someone read something for you. Just sayin'.

    It may have been easy to put that into words, but it was also pretty useless.

    Dude he's a newbie with a question, why not answer it if you know the answer. Now I can see if you have answered THIS same question a bunch of times to give the response you did. You also could've said " ya know I don't want to answer this question", but you actually took the time to give a response....PLus I gotta show some love to a fellow CT BA.
    BUT I will say that he shouldn't rely on the kindness of fellow BA's to give him answers all the time. First time poster, this is a freebie...CHEERS

    Short/simple answer , different wine barrels, different stuff added. IE cherries , black currants.

    EDIT: not the easiest to come by always, but New Belgium Lips of Faith - La Folie is much easier to get and reminds me of them

    Actually, not being snarky at all, but if you want a comprehensive answer, one must do their own work. I'm just pointing them in a direction that would be the most helpful. Nice has nothing has nothing to do with it.

    Like others said... Different style base beers and different barrels used in aging.

    Basically
    Supplication is a brown ale aged in Pinot Noir barrels with cherries
    Consecration is a dark ale aged in Cabernet barrels with currants
    Temptation is a blonde ale aged in Chardonnay barrels
    Beatification is a spontaneously fermented ale aged in oak wine barrels.

    Different base beers each one

    This is stupid answer. Really.

    Truth is, that OP can of course watch brewers website some info, but "find a few fellow BA's whom you have a similiar taste profile with and follw their reviews" wtf? He just asked the differences of those hyped sours and that question wasn't stupid at all (seems that you are).

    Johnnyramirez gave nice and informative answer.
