Moon Dog – Sir Plum McCartney

This wasn’t as sour as I was expecting, in fact on occasion it tasted a bit watery. A nice peachy colour, with a lot of dark red sediment. It was very fruity and juicy, couldn’t quite pinpoint exactly what it tasted of, but it does list on the can that it contains plum, so I am guessing this!

All in all, not a bad beer.

Brew York – Sour Grapes and Silly Japes

Red grape and raspberry imperial pastry sour.

Wow, its sour, its strong, initially you get a sour hit of fruity goodness, followed by an almost cidery flavour, rounded off perfectly by a sweetness of kind of biscuity flavour. A super well rounded sour. Very refreshing.

Fallen Acorn – Pie Hard

Apple Pie Pastry Sour. I was so eager to try this one, with promises of stewed apples, spices and vanilla custard to finish. I have to say I was a bit disappointed.

Dont get me worng, it was a nice refreshing beer, but ultimately it was a tarty apple beer, couldnt taste the spice or custard, and it was super full of sediment, it had a good couple of inches in the bottom that looked like apple sauce.

Definitely not a bad beer, and a good tasting experience, but not really for me.

Sampled from: Can

ABV – 6.2%

Would I recommend? Not particularly

Would I buy again? Probably not

Unbarred – Bakewell Tart

A raspberry sour with almond and vanilla.

Its really good. The raspberry and sourness is at the front, but has a nice rounded palette provided by the sweet almondy flavour to finish. Another superb beer from the peeps at Unbarred.

S43 – Mr Sipling

Battenberg pastry sour. A very interesting flavour. Initially the smell was really intensely sour and I wasn’t convinced I would like it. However it is definitely and quite thankfully sweeter than it smells. I can taste the almondy-ness of the marzipan, and the raspberry of the jam, along with what I can only describe as rose, as in Turkish Delight?! Obscure I know, but luckily I am a fan of this too.

All in all a super refreshing, fruity, great tasting beer.

Brewdog – Sour Grinch

Wow, this is absolutely vile. I thought I had turned a corner, after the first 2x sours I tried being pretty revolting, the next 2, by Brew York revived my spirit and restored my faith in this type of beer, only for this to be completely smash it to bits.

It is super bitter, has a very slightly chocolatey taste, but you may aswell drink vinegar!

ABV – 6%

Would I recommend? No way!

Would I buy again? Not with your money

Brewdog – Fake Empire

A sour, hazy IPA. . . Its fruity, nowhere near as sour as any other I have tried, and generally a nice beer. Nothing spectacular, but not bad at all. . .

Brew York – Mos Eisley Catharina 2020

Guava, Coconut and Lime catharina sour. Wow, this was a pleasant surprise. Finally I have found a palletable sour. Its supwr fruity, and yeah, its bitter, but. . . The coconut makes it that tad sweeter and much more drinkable. A super refreshing beer.
