    I have never been impressed with a Chicago sour until I had Virga and Magick is Purple. Very excited to see what comes next. Good timing for HA as my interest in their IPAs begins to lessen with the growth of local NEIPAs.

    Has anyone had the Chevalier from three Floyds?

    I grabbed a bottle yesterday that I plan to drink today. I recall it being very tart in years past. I can report back later.

    Additionally, (and I just posted this on the FFF thread) I don't know why it's not green glitter wax this year. Anyone know?

    I've had previous versions, not this year. It's on par with other available barrel aged sours. I wouldn't go nuts for one.

    Popped one the other night. Its tart and sweet. Delicious blueberry flavor on the back end. Glad I bought 4 bottles.

    I also posted in the other thread but the chevalier at the kiosk is the 2015 vintage.

    For those that have had both, how does Chevalier compare to Bloobs? I’m still sitting on a Bloobs and waiting for my buddies to decide to do a sour share.

    Pollyanna's has a couple new one's out. A kiwi and mango.

    Kiwi one is more tart, but both are solid, and 5.99 for a 500 ml

    The Kiwi is a fantastic Berliner! Haven't cracked the mango yet. A great value too!

    I really enjoyed the Mango berliner. I am definitely going to pick up a few more for summer enjoyment.

    Late to the party (as usual) but tried Molten Mirrors last weekend and it was fantastic. Keeping an eye open for this on shelves.

    Did anyone try Half Acre's newest wyld beer Pennon? Seems a little more on the funky side based on description, but since it was released last weekend I've heard very little talk about it.

    Noon Whistle Guava Gose Smack is delish. Bought a case and will need more soon.

    It's really solid. Tried it last night. Definitely sour but also has a decent amount of funk.
