Does anybody really LOVE sours?

I love sours, but I lean more towards sours that have a lighter base beer, such as Gose, Berliner,Gueze, and some wilds. I don't care as much for sour Stouts, Oud Bruin, or really any that have a strong balsamic type character. My favorite so far has been Fou Foune, least favorite has been Monks Cafe. I would drink berliners and gose all day/everyday in the summer if there were more available. They are low alcohol and refreshing, which makes them the perfect summer beer.

 

Sometimes

 

I'm leavin' em for the rest of you folks !

 

If you ever had a Sang Royal from Cascade you might say yes, I did.
And many others they produce.

 

Overall my favorite style is probably a top notch Lambic or Wild Ale, or a wild saison.

Cantillon Iris, Fou Foune
De Garde Beaucoup Desay
Drei Fonteinen Oude Kriek / Gueuze
Russian River - Supplication
Boon - Mariage Parfait
Rodenbach - Caractere Rouge
Logsdon - Peche and Brett
Crooked Stave - Nightmare on Brett / Surette Reserva Cassis
Le Trou Du Diable Dulcis Succubus
Sante Adairius - Every wild they make

Best stuff in the world for me.

 

Hammer meet nail.

I've had three sours:

Supplication
La Folie
Le Terroir

Enjoyed them all thoroughly while drinking them. However, I rarely seek sours out. One every few months is perfect to me!

 

Isn't the fad over? I miss seeing them just sitting on shelves.

 

I love them. Didn't at first. So good.

 

YES. just YES. BA stouts are getting old really quick. I usually drink IPAs, old ale/BW, or sours. I can honestly say I mostly ingest sours..and yes it is very expensive.

 

Cascade is going to be a little crazy and likely too much vinegar. I'd suggest a jester king fruited sour.

 

I'm a huge fan of sours. The only one I can truly say I didn't enjoy was Skull'Ole by 3 Floyds. So acidic that it was like drinking lemon juice. Usually they are so on point!

 

When I first read that, I saw "I" instead of "we" and was really impressed/worried.

But yeah, sours are awesome. Well done, sir.

 

When done right, I think they are amazing. JK's are at the top of my list.

 

Love? ummm....well my first love would be IPAs.
I like to think of Sours as my mistresses, I tend to abuse them on weekends and not get back to them on weekdays.

 

I tried my first ever sour the other day, and it was a top rated sour. 3 fonteinen golden blend oude gueze. I thought it was terrible. Tasted like champange gone bad. Smelt like wet socks. I actually drain poured it. Sours are definitely not my thing.

 

Yeah. I've always dug sour things, and I find sour beers to be very refreshing, especially in hot weather

 

I find myself craving 'tart', but not 'sour', and many sours are 'tart'. The blistering sourness of an upland is something I can handle only once in a while, but the tartness of a Hill Farmstead beer is something I can't get enough of.

 

I can't say I have ever tasted much acetic acid in Cascade. They are lacto-bombs though!

I have nearly 60 of those in my "cellar". LOVE that beer!

 

I drink REALLY good wine instead of sours.
