Anyone here like Sour Ale?

[Maharaja]

A coworker and I had a few this week at dinner. Technically a (Flanders Red Ale) Found a great one after 3 we were light headed then we got the bill and almost passed out (not from alcohol).
I gotta say it was great. Anybody have recommendations that might not break the bank?

Not a fan of sours, but oak aged ales, hell yeah.

Pair it with a cheese plate appetizer. Some hearty Stiltons, or some other creamy and dank Blues. The stinkier the better.

Well a great question we were having BBQ. It has a great flavor, you can taste a little wine overtone (its aged in riesling barrels I believe). It has a little sour taste (not a true sour).

We did let a few other coworkers taste a bit everyone loved it. Its pricey so I am not suggesting buying a bomber becuase if you hate it you might hunt me down.

Be forewarned, those cheeses pair really well. Those 10% brews slide down like iced tea....you might not remember the main course. lol
