Poll: Do you like sours?

All those breweries you mentioned definitely know how to make a great sour! Sounds like you gave it one hell of a try.

 

Same here. Tried WW..Grimm..Crooked Stave..Almanac and a few others..just not for me

 

I don't like them.

 

Not for me, actually considering the price point on most, I'm glad I don't care for them.

 

I voted "I like some sours". For the first couple I tried, I enjoyed the taste but they gave me pretty bad stomach aches. I backed off for a while but then started having a new one every 2-3 weeks. I noticed the stomach aches went away and I was starting to enjoy the flavors even more. At this point, I can't say I love them but I am acquiring a taste for them, and will continue to try new ones on occasion. Perhaps you're trying too many, too quickly. If that's the case, taking a slower approach might work for you too.

 

Was drinking/liking them 3- 5yrs ago, not so much anymore still try some from time to time.

 

I like them so much its why i got into home brewing!! Cant afford 15 dollars a bottle on the reg

 

I dislike them, yet I rate them accordingly. In other words, although I'd rather drink pickle juice, I still give favorable reviews if a sour deserves it. It's called being objective, but it's one of the last styles on my list next to malt liquor.

 

I like some. I think I've only tried maybe 7 or so. Some I loved, others I couldn't finish. I see the appeal though.

 

I'm a big fan, but I'll take a brett-forward sour over a super tart fruited sour.

 

I love them, But I can't stand sweetness, sugar tastes like poison to me (Probably one of the reasons I've never had a cavity too)

 

Some are really good and some i really don't like. Same with cider

 

Could you be a little more specific?

 

A poor excuse for old, outdated, unclean beer fermentation. Some are subtle, others off the charts with sour, teeth chattering tartness.

 

Haven't had all that many sours. The ones I've had I didn't care for. They were well done but I couldn't jet past the real strong sour notes. Probably have to try again when it's warmer, when lemonade is a good choice.

 

I like most sours. The only sub-style within that I don't usually care for is the Flanders Red, but \even there there are some great ones.
It did take me a long time to get into them, even after tasting quite a few over the years. It took an under the table bottle at one of the b\big beer fests to swing me over the fence. I don't buy them very often, and I usually save them for a special occasion when I do, but Geuzes, Kreiks, Lambics, Love them.

 

I like them, but they are not a style I buy too many bottles of. If there is a local brewery that has them on tap, I will often order sours though.

 

I find myself not buying them as often as other styles, but whenever I get one I tend to enjoy it a lot. I said "love sours".

 

Put like some, but I'd say I like most. Depends on the sour. A good Gose and I am a very happy man. I dig a nice Flanders Red. Harsh Lambics are hard to love, though there is quite a bit of range in what you get. Top makers deserve the respect they get, but I do find my beer dollar going elsewhere, since these tend to be quite expensive.
