Drinking a sour beer right now, in fact, while I brew a beer of my own. Unibroue's Quelque Chose (new window). It's damn good stuff. Not as sour as a pure sour beer, but very tart and quite delicious.

Repo Man: "With a hint of horse blanket." Horse blanket? I realize this is specialized jargon, and may have an actual meaning to others in their field, but they ought to recognize that to outsiders it sounds as though they are pulling pretentious crap out of their ass.
I've read lots of pretentious beer reviews, and that one is certainly new to me. I have no idea what it's supposed to mean. And I've had that beer!

Repo Man: "With a hint of horse blanket." Horse blanket? I realize this is specialized jargon, and may have an actual meaning to others in their field, but they ought to recognize that to outsiders it sounds as though they are pulling pretentious crap out of their ass. Couldn't they at least specify whether they mean the taste of horse blanket, or the aroma? And either way, I'll pass.
Delicious

They're very often blended from multiple batches of various ages, allowing them to maintain some degree of consistency over time (though they can still vary over the years, of course). That one bottle of lambic may have three, four, five different batches blended into it.

i'm a huge fan of the rodenbach grand cru, and ommegang rouge when they were making it. also, the duchesse de bourgogne is farking fantastic. all more sour the the gueuzes i've had.

Lexx: Lambic beers are...different, that's for sure. I'm not sold on them considering that the fermentation method basically relies on airborne contamination. I'll take cultured beers, thanks.
//if it's truly lambic, the beer should be largely unreproducible, batch to batch. There's no controls over the fermentation.
It's a mistake to say it's "contamination" or that it is any more unreproducible than any other kind of beer, but it is regionally localized to an extremely high degree. Good bakeries are in the same boat, but you can just stick with Wonder Bread if that's what you prefer. Also, all beer is yeast pee but chosen to draw the line at Lambics.

Oh man is that one ever delicious. Had my wife try it. She generally loves great craft beers, but that one twisted up her face. She hated it. I think it's divine.
I'm a big fan of Ommegang's stuff, but haven't had the Rouge. Have a few of Allagash's sours in my cellar right now waiting for the right occasion.

Nice line, but doesn't even remotely apply to these beers. They're about as far as you can get from a huge blast of hops.

Repo Man: If beer didn't have alcohol, I would never drink it. Same with coffee and caffeine.
See, and I'd love for there to be non-alcoholic/low alcohol versions of my favorite beers. Then I could drink more of them without getting trashed. I love the taste of a great beer. A Founder's Breakfast Stout really would be a great breakfast beverage if it wasn't for the booze.
