my dad got this multipack of weird ass beers and earlier I had an IPA from the pack that was alright (although I’m not usually a fan of IPAs), and so I grabbed another can of the same color except this one turned out to be “pink guava gose”. this shit is fuckin whack, I’m trying to keep an open mind but this beer isn’t just bitter, its fucking sour. this shit tastes like you poked a hole in a grapefruit and filled it with miller high life, then let it rot in a field for a few weeks. forcing myself to drink all of it in case its an acquired taste but my stomach feels like it might stage a mutiny at any moment and I’m only halfway through.
I mean, goses are sours yeah, just with salt and cardamom typically. Sounds like you’ve never had a sour beer before, but they’ve been on the NA market pretty consistently for the past ten years.
Sours are a good beer type, but the problem is because they work well with fruit they’ve basically just become the juicy beer for people who don’t like beer. I don’t typically drink fruit sours if I can avoid it, unless it’s something like a lime sour.
But yeah I like a good gose every now and then for sure.
yeah i usually stick to munich lager or spotted cow. not the type to stray too far from my comfort zone on a regular basis.
Yeah I can see why it would be a surprise if you didn’t know sour was even a potential flavour profile
