I have a bottle of that version of Le Seul sitting in the beer fridge waiting for the right occasion. Love a good sour beer.

I love sours but they do not pair well with BBQ. Mosca Please feel free to send those sours this way. Try this sour brown ale from New Belgium if you want to try one without all the fruit flavors. It is outstanding.

I’ve brewed for many years and had a lot of beer, and a lot of sours. Never ever saw a bright red sour like that one! Did they brew with Hawaiian Punch 🥊 ?
Probably best commercial example I’ve personally tried is a Flanders Red (not bright red like that!) called Duchesse de Bergonne. Most sours are pretty acetic and vinegary. So very much an aquired taste. I had a keg on tap of a sour for almost 3 years here before we finished it, and not in a hurry for another 5 gallon keg of one...

Used to hate hoppy beer. It was nothing but regular bud for me. Then I was at a restaurant one day and they didn’t have any and a waiter convinced me to try a Kona. I thought it was pretty good. Tried others and really liked ambers. That expanded to even some IPAs. Tried a Sam Adams sour last week and yuk, Don’t like it. But who knows, that too could change One day.

with you brother. just cant do it.
my wife - who hate's all conventional beer....really likes sours. she REALLY likes gose's. cant get my mind around it. I've talked to more than one brewer that says wine lovers (my wife) tend to like sours. anecdotally I've seen this with the wife and others that I've suggested sours to if they like wine.
in the end...like bbq...different strokes for different folks.

I am a big IPA fan cut my hoppy teeth in Seattle in the 90's before the craze. If you want to try something a little different but still quality try a Saison. Napoleon called it the Champagne of the North.
Saison Dupont is excellent
Tank Seven is very good as well
There are others but these are very good starters.

Large Big Green Egg, Weber Performer Deluxe, Weber Smokey Joe Silver, Maverick 732, DigiQ, and too much other stuff to mention.
I’ve tried enough high quality sours. I just don’t "get" them. And, I’ve purchased four packs, and six packs, and forced myself to drink all of them.
IPAs are okay, some I really like. In fact, other than sours I haven’t found anything I haven’t liked... oh. Old Curmudgeon, from Founder’s. It tastes like someone dropped a shot glass full of cheap whiskey into it. I don’t like all those diacetyls.Last edited by Mosca; November 4, 2019, 07:46 PM.

I'm with you Mosca , I don't like sours. I buy mixed 12's a lot and pay attention to the taste profiles of the various beers - Stone, New Brunswick, O'Fallon, Schlafly (now all brewed by 4 Hands), Public Brewhouse - Founders makes some stuff that tastes like an angel crying on your tongue. The sours end up being the last in the fridge, and the other day I found half a bottle in the fridge. My wife said "I can't drink that".
Maybe those that talk about pairing know what they're talking about, because the first sour I had was paired with my lunch in a pub in Jeff City. I liked it at the time.
and I am SO TIRED of IPA's. And Belle's 2-headed trout is the best beer in America? I don't even like it. I'd like to see some Honey / Fruit (Like Mango) Wheat Ales in an Imperial ABV batch. Head above 9 and maybe shoot for 11 ABV, just not in an IPA - although Sam Adam's Imperial IPA is worth it when you can find it. So are Barleywine's - and this is the time of year Sierra Nevada should be releasing Big Foot.
