    Weyerbacher Riserva was quite sour. Deschutes Green Monster is up there too.

    Hanssens Kriek, not sure on vintage, was nail polish remover sour. Absolutely loved it!

    Any of the Upland fruit sours for me. It's peeling paint sort of sour. No balance at all. They do nothing for me. I've had a few from the Bruery that fall into that category as well. I can agree with the Cascade Apricot crowd too. Bruery Bottleworks 12 is about as sour of a beer that I've had AND enjoyed. Too many American Wild Ales are sour for the sake of sour.

    Stopped by FW Barrelworks this weekend and had a taster of Sour Opal. Everytime I took a sip, I would try to tell my wife how good it was, but was abruptly stopped by the face twisting sourness. Man I wish they would bottle that stuff!

    Love Child #4 recently. I haven't had a Guava Grove in awhile but I remember last year's being extremely sour when it was fresh. I've had other disagree with me on that so not sure.

    New Belgium's Whiskey-BA Love w/ Blackberries. Don't think the best sours have to be @ Warhead level, but this thing was both sour as hell AND utterly delicious. Easily one of my favorite sours ever.

    To me it is Duchesse de Bourgogne, due to its outstanding vinegar tastes, mixed with grapes and wood.

    That one Persimmon Lambic from Upland. The persimmons were good, but imagine them doused in finger nail polish remover. That or the Bruery's Rueuze.

    I finished one on my own. It took work, but it was doable.

    I've not had many but the Gose from Westbrook is probably the most sour i've had. And I wouldnt even consider it THAT sour. But its a style of beer I am interested into venturing into.

    Hanssens Oude Gueuze Lambic Ale is pretty sour as is De Oude Cam. Many of the more popular producers sweeten their fruit lambics up for the High School date crowd but Cantillon does not and their stuff can be pretty sour.

    Love Child #4 is a DELICIOUS beer. Higher ABV than other sours and that tart just hits the spot.
