    It's a balanced kind of sour: more sour than the average beer drinker would enjoy, but not so acidic that it'd melt the enamel on your teeth. Surprisingly refreshing at 9.5%.

    Speaking of which, this stuff is deadly! It drinks like a 4% beer but it hits you like a truck very quickly!

    I've got one more bottle in my crawl space. I suppose I too should have grabbed more...

    Damn, I should have picked this up yesterday when my LBS in Philly was having a sale on bombers. I saw the bottle, typed the name into my BA app, and nothing came up so I got cold feet.

    Next time!

    First of all, awesome avatar.
    Second, you should be able to find this all over the place for a while. At $10, this is a solid middle of the road sour. the 9+% pushes it above the rest of the field.

    An inexpensive, easy to get sour with brett, this one might be fun to sit for a while and see what happens.

    Checked with my local DMV beer shops and so far all said they sold out a few weeks ago. Guess we're all late to the game.

    This. I bought a case and I'll drink probably 6 over the next few months. After that, I'll sit on some and drink one every 3-6 months and see what happens to the brett. Hopefully it goes crazy like it's known to do :wink:

    $9.99 for 750ml in CT, very good, very sour!

    Very good I agree with, very sour I don't. Believe me, it's sour enough and you taste the brett, but it's not OMG sour. I think it's just right.

    Any chance someone knows where I can find this in the myrtle beach area?

    Had one last night. Was pretty decent, it was great for the price and volume though. I'd be interested to see it gets a little more sour over time.

    Drinking one right now, its not bad, but its pretty un-interesting. I'll definitely let my other 2 sit and see if it develops any more flavor.

    Works fine for me but its based on distributor input and so sometimes not entirely accurate.

    @beernuts thanks! Just picked up some at Dominion with a couple other interesting offerings. Appreciate it!

    Ugh. iPhone or Android? The app on my iPhone hasn't worked in months. I've deleted and reinstalled, to no avail.

    Laptop & iPad, Wi-fi connection, standard browser (e.g., Safari).

    Edit: Just tried iPod, Wi-fi, Safari, (which should be identical to iPhone), works fine.
