    Hanssens Oude Kriek, Lost Abbey Red Poppy and a lot of the offerings from Almanac are up there for "most sour". I'd disagree with those saying Oude Gueuze Tilquin but I guess it depends on the vintage in the palate. I agree with most though, I'd perfer drinkable & interesting over most sour.

    Not exactly...I bought three bottles back then, still have one left that I'm saving for a rainy day, and will move on from there as it really is a struggle to drink...! Bottom line - the sour world for me is a challenge and upon stepping into it, I find I like the "less sour" sours like some of the Allagash's - Trillium also does a great job with "mild sours"...cheers mate!

    This one came with what was essentially a warning sticker, saying something like "yes, we know this is really sour".

    Plan Bee Brass Tacks. Most intense sour feeling my mouth has ever felt.

    I had a 2012 Cascade Apricot that was certainly one of the more sour beers I've had...delicious, though. Also Madame Rose is up there as well.

    The 2005 Cantillon Gueuze I had last week was the most sour beer I can recall. Personal favorite is Fou Foune.

    The previous 750's of old growth were hands down the sourest thing I've ever had. Felt the enamel coming off as I drank it. Couldn't even finish it between two of us and I drink sours nearly every day.

    Tiger Cub Saison barrel aged tasted like vinegar. Definitely the sourest and also the worst I've ever had

    Trinity's Brain of the Turtle. It's almost too much to handle. Like drinking Sour Patch Kids.

    I think the sourest I've had was Block 15 Snozzberries. It was crazy, but really good.

    Best was probably Cable Car, DDG, Fou', Snozzberries, Cantillon Kriek. Recently, I really really like the NG Cran-bic.
