Sour

Dream Patch is a Fruited Sour beer from Brewery Ommegang (https://www.ommegang.com) in Copperstown, New York and Leifmans (https://www.liefmans.com/en) in Oudenaarde, Belgium. These two breweries collaborated to make this Sour from Ommegang OMG Series. This beer is 6.5% ABV, with Pilsner and Crystal malts. It also has Belgian sour gurus from Liefmansands Cherry, Blueberry, and Raspberry. This beer is available year round. I purchased this from Total Wine (Totalwine.com). This beer pours a cherry read with a pink-like one-finger head that is gone instantly. The aroma is fruity and tart. There is Cherry and blueberry. I didn’t get much or any blueberry. The flavor is tart with cherry, raspberry and slight blueberry flavor. Overall the tartness is mild as is the fruity flavors. The mouthfeel is light. This beer finishes with a nice tartness of cherries. The raspberries are faint on the finish. The aftertaste is tart but that does fade along with the fruity and some slight yeast notes. This is not in your face sour or tart. Deam Patch is an A. The fact that the blueberries get lost on the flavor held it back from being perfect. I would still recommend this beer. You should drink this! Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

Peel Good Inc. is a sour ale with blood oranges from Birdsong Brewing Co. in Charlotte, North Carolina. This sour ale is 5% ABV. I am a big fan of blood oranges. I love all kinds of blood orange beverages and the blood oranges themselves. This beer pours an almost yellow-light orange with a one-finger head. The head is gone as soon as it is poured. The aroma is tart blood orange with a hint of sweetness. The flavor is blood orange, tart, and sour. This is not too tart, but it has enough tartness. This has a light but tart mouthfeel. Then, it finishes with a tartness that fades into a light sourness. The aftertaste is orangey and tart and lingers for a moment. This is a good sour ale that is a B+. It could use a tiny bit more blood orange flavor. That would be my only complaint about this beer. Yes, you should be drinking this, but not a whole lot. The flavor would get overwhelming after three. I still like this beer from Birdsong. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

This is the last beer I purchased from the Citizens Public Market in Culver City, Califonia. This beer is Mason Ale Works iPOP! Tart Tango Fruited Tart Ale. This Kettled Sour ale is 4.8% ABV. This beer is brewed in San Deigo, California. I have one more beer that I bought in Culver City. I purchased it from a local Trader Joe’s. That review will be soon. This sour ale pours a red color with a one-finger pink fizzy head. The head doesn’t stick around for long. The aroma is cherries, strawberries, and raspberries. There is some tartness on the nose as well. The flavor is tart with cherries, raspberries, and some strawberries. This ale had a bit of a cherry cola flavor. The sourness is not really existent here. This has a light feel to the mouth. Then it has a tart cherry finish. The aftertaste of cherries and raspberries lingers a bit. I don’t mind sour ale, but I wouldn’t say I love them. But This iPOP! Tart Tango was fabulous. I give this beer an A+. It wasn’t face puckering sour or tart. It had just the right amount. The fruity flavor really shined. Making this beer delicious. I highly recommend this Mason Ale Works beer! Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

This beer is Crush Raspberry Sour from 10 Barrel Brewing Co. in Bend, Oregon. This beer is 6.5% ABV and year-round. This beer has real raspberries. This sour ale pours a pinkish/red color with a one-and-a-half white head. The aroma is sweet, tart, sour, and fruity (raspberry). The taste is tart, sour, raspberry, and sweet. The mouthfeel is light and refreshing. Then this beer finishes with a sour and tart raspberry fruity flavor. There is a tart fruity aftertaste with a hint of sour sweetness. This beer is good, and I think it’s a high C+. It has a nice tart raspberry sour flavor. I would recommend this one. It is refreshing and not so sour that it is enjoyable. But I will say I have had better raspberry sours, but this is still good. Stay safe, be kind always, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

Coming from Edmund’s Oast Brewing Company in Charleston, South Carolina this is The Co-Op a sour ale made with blackberry, grape, and lemon. This beer is 6% ABV and is a collaboration with The Co-op. This beer pours deep red/deep strawberry color with a four-finger light pink fizzy head. The aroma is tart with grape, lemon, and lithe blackberry. The taste is tart and fruity. It’s light on the grape and blackberries, but towards the back of the mouth, you get a tart lemon that throws the overall flavor into a bad spot. The mouthfeel is light. This beer then finishes with a grape/lemon tart flavor. The aftertaste is light tartness and light on flavor. This isn’t a good beer, and I think the flavors especially the lemon don’t go together. I usually like Edmund’s Oasts beer. But this one I am giving a D-. I mean the ingredients listed on the table sound dull if I’m being honest. I wouldn’t try this at all. Please stay safe, be kind, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
