    I have loved all 3 Russian River sours I've had: Consecration, Supplication, and Temptation

    I also love Rodenbach Grand Cru and 3F Oude Gueze.

    Each of the 5 offer a little something different from each other.

    Very shocked Weyerbacher Riserva hasn't been mentioned yet-- the 2012 release is phenomenal, way better than the previous years, and deliciously mouth-puckering sour.
    Definitely my top.

    You should still be able to find it on shelves in NY, too.

    Yeah, it's actually priced similarly to Cantillon, but much easier to track down.

    It has already been posted, but I love the whole Jolly Pumpkin line (with La Roja, Oro de Calabaza and Bière de Mars at the top)!

    It has been a while since I have had it, but Rodenbach Grand Cru was also deeee-lish.

    I tend to like almost everything sour made by these breweries:

    Cascade, Cantillon, Russian River, Jolly Pumpkin, The Bruery, Drie Fonteinen, De Cam, De Ranke, Rodenbach and Lost Abbey.

    The first three are my favorites.
