OT: What are you Watching/Listening/Drinking?

As much as menly men like to pretend sours aren't for faggots, if this drink is any indication, they are 100% for faggots. It's an insanely gay drink. And I fucking love it.
 
I didn't mean fruit in that context, I mean literal fruit. although you and zeke are totally gay, obviously.

as in, I do not understand the appeal of mixing beer with citrus for example. blecch.
 
well hops themselves have their own citrusy flavour, so it started all the way back when they first started using hops.

Oh I know. I just wanted to make it clear that my suspicions about sours being gay are correct. Macho men just wanted an excuse to drink delicious fruity goodness without being gay. I don't blame them for pretending sours are heterosexual.

my favourite pastime, back when I could afford it, was to go to the skydome and mix a Caesar with a tall cool Budweiser in a blue jays can. Caesar beers.
 
But, it’s gotta be in a blue jays branded can.

Good way to make friends. Two caesars, split the tall boy.

actually sours (lambics, geuzes, etc) are sour, not sweet. and really strong.

I got a lot of sweetness in this one. It's even how the advertise the bevvy. But I will take your word on that not being the norm.

Its very sweet no doubt. They still manage to balance it ok but its sweeter than I like. They have others which are just too sweet. But they also have some dry hopped sours which aren't overly sweet which I like better.

If you think you like sours enough that you don't need a lot of sweet in it then there are a couple very good (but expensive) local ones getting more availability lately - the classic Jelly King by Bellwoods and the new Oak Grove by Bench.

I liked this one because I found the sweetness created a nice balance - it was a bit more complex than something like a cider which is just pure sugar. I got the ciders for Mrs. Preston but I usually find those far too sweet to have more than a small half glass. But they're still a really tasty half glass of sugar with a side of alcohol. Call it a guilty pleasure.

Sweet is good if it complements the other flavors and creates a beautiful harmony in your mouth. I'm interested in trying the guava gose because on paper, the balance between the sweet, sour and salty sounds fucking delightful. I feel like that one has the higher potential but the sweet/sour nature of this tangerine bevvy is beautiful too. Highly recommended.

the guava gose is similar - good but very sweet. the guava gose and the mango tangerine sour are probably just small batch summer beers for them and won't likely become regulars.

their other gose that ch1 keeps mentioning - Prophets & Nomads - is much better imo. it goes with spice instead of fruit.


the thing with the Goses is that they're much lighter beers - in the mid 4% range. much easier to make it light clean and tasty at that level.
 
Presto today
