    My pallet has been changing lately to favor sours with all these stouts I've been drinking the last two years. So, I figured I'd ask what everyone's favorites were. Pick any wild ale, saison, framboise, kvass, oud bruin, lambic, gueuze, flanders red, gose, or berliner barrel-aged or not.


    My top three are:

    J.Wakefield Miami Madness
    deGardge Citrus Desay
    Bullfrog Grrrz Le Roar Unfilitered



    Cheers!

    Haven't had that many yet but mine would be "School of Certain Victory" by Modern Times.

    I've never had a bad beer from Jester King. My favorite, of those I've had, would probably be Ol' Oi!

    Sour in the Rye was pretty darn good, too.

    Man, it's gotta be a three way tie between Framboise de Amorosa, Home Sour Home, and Map of the Sun.

    I've never liked sours all that much, but Del Borgo's Rubus might just have converted me. What a perfectly mouth-smackingly tart and authentically raspberry-tasting wild ale.

    Kvass is not sour. My favorite is Flanders Oud Bruin.

    In general, I like the non-backsweetened beers from all of the lambic producers. One a lot of people overlook is Mort Subite's. I think it's phenomenal.

    I'm not a fan of sours at all, but I will always give one a try if the opportunity presents itself...so take it for what it's worth

    Rodenbach Grand Cru and Boulevard Hibiscus Gose were the only 2 I didn't spit out
