Poll: Do you like sours?

Never had one that I wanted a 2ond serving of. That includes many of the hard to get ones when they were easy to get.

 

I like some, but not all. Given the choice of 'yes' or 'no' I voted yes, as there are some I'll partake in.

 

I normally don't seek out sour beers, but I'm on a road trip right now from Michigan to the west coast, and part of my itinerary was planned for a stop to pick up some Ching Ching at Bend Brewing. I had that beer on my last trip through the area three years ago and fell in love with it, but I did not realize then that this beer is bottled.

As a side event on this trip, I discovered a very good sour also during my stop at Surly Brewing in Minneapolis. Their Pentagram is outstanding.

 

Yes. When done well. Not all sours are created equal (or with much care for that matter).

 

But it isn't.

 

Sometimes I like a traditional gose and other sour or wild/brett beer, but my favorite sours are the fruit added and/or dry hopped versions.

 

Yes. Far from my favourite however

 

Ironic that most sours seem to come in 750ml bottles and I don't like any more than 6-8 oz. I usually save them to share. Fruited sours are excellent, hoppy ones not so much.

 

Yes a lot. What I don't like are sweet beers like radlers

 

The best way to enjoy them !

 

I like them a lot but never find myself sessioning them. Seems that for me, they are more of a change of pace beer.

Glad to have the option at least as they were tough to find even five years ago.

 

Couldn't answer since I enjoy some and don't care for others.

 

I hate sours, they suck, they smell like etc. (especially tart cucumbers).

 

I answered "yes" since you asked so nicely.
When I'm asked this question by a bartender or store worker, my answer is "no."
I don't know which answer is more accurate.
Given your parameters, "yes" will probably get more votes.

 

Sort of?

 

I've had several beers from "sour" styles (a Flanders oud bruin, a Berliner weisse, and two gose) and liked all but one of them (the strange cucumber gose from the Samuel Adams summer pack this year. Which for some odd reason they only mentioned the cucumber part in the fine print, even though it was the strongest flavor in the beer. Also wasn't even slightly tart/sour, oddly enough -- I know I've read that gose can vary in sourness from mild to super-sour, but I expected at least a little bit.)

Based on that limited experience with "sour" styles, I'd have to vote yes.

 

Yep

 

Yes. My experience at Wicked Weed's Funkatorium really opened my eyes to the sour world. Love a lot of goses out there as well.
