Good Intro Sours?

Sour Monkey by Victory
Kirsch Gose by Victory

Both are great sours that aren't overly tart. Cheers!

 

Being where you are, the Destihl Wild Sour series has a good range to try and see what you like.

Festina Peche is also a good intro.

 

Can you get Evil Twin beer in your area? Sour Bikini is pretty great.

Cuvée Des Jacobins Rouge

This is always my recommendation. it is great, affordable and easy to find

 

My wife and I were both disappointed by that beer

 

Try a Gose, a Berliner Weisse, Rodebach Grand Cru, La Folie or a Dry hopped sour from Mikeller or Grimm. Those would be good starter sour for someone to cut their teeth into.

 

Saison dupont is mildly sour. Good starter. If you get evil twin Mission gose isn't terribly sour and the eucalyptus makes it smooth.

 

Most everything that I've read in the threads in this forum about sour beers has caused me to think that Berliner Weissbier is very sour, but my experience has been just the opposite. 'Lightly tart' is probably a better descriptor from my experience. The ones that I have had may be 'Americanized' beers to appeal to the mass market, but someone who is more experienced with drinking this style can correct me on that if necessary. Here's the BA link to the style description and a list of the top commercial versions of this beer. Start at the top of the list and try the ones that are available to you. http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/style/87/

 

Almanac sours are perfect to break in your pucker pallet

 

Rodenbach Grand Cru is the only sour that I didn't spit out...pretty damn good recommendation

 

Head north and grab all of the New Glarus fruit beers.

 

Kasteel Rouge is not a sour. It's a blend of Kasteel Donker and cherry liquor.

Monk's Cafe is a great "Intro sour".

 

this is a bad sign, as that beer is marketed as a sour for those who don't like sours.


my vote goes to dfh festina peche. just the right amount of sweet n sour. rodenbach grand cru is my go to teeth melter, give that a try if you end up wanting more sour

 

Rodenbach

 

or any lambic style beers, they will be a sweeter sour so there easier to drink than a full on sour

 

...what they said

 

I don't believe Pizza Boy was mentioned, unless I missed it as scanning. Had the Mango Sourer & Funky Applesauce. I thought they were pretty good. About $25 a bottle and fairly easy to get via trade.

 

Try BFM Square Root of 225
