Seriously. So incredibly rare is it these days where anyone raves about cohesive beers with cleanness, nuance AND complexity. Vast majority of the highly-acclaimed stuff out there is so boring, simplistic and one-dimensional. I guess it bugs me because I see SO MUCH more potential for beer than what way too many breweries in the US are passing-off as world-class stuff. *rant off*

okay, I am so sorry to offend your supreme sensibilities.

Sorry, didn’t mean to offend, though I can see how my post could be taken as such. It’s just something I feel deeply passionate about.

If I was stuck drinking only the beers you call good, then I would be missing out on a lot of the things that is great about beer.

Below the belt. Fair enough.

You all are correct that it is a tad one note, but my oh my what a one note. Also, there is not a lot of complexity but there is indeed some. Could it be more balanced, sure but then I think if it was I would not be here raving about it. Duck Duck Gooze was more complex as were a couple others at the fest but this one stood out and will be remembered for what it is.

I never said this was world-class but it does something very well(extreme sourness) that I think would appeal to those who like sour brews, hence the title of the thread. I am not a sour head but still really dug the beer for what it is. Thought others would like to know since it appears to be flying under the radar.

Lastly, I still enjoy the good in beer, not looking for flaws. The bad stuff will reveal itself normally without much effort. A beer starts with a 5 and works it’s way down from there and not at 2.5 working upward or downward, just my opinion. That is why I gave this brew a 4.1 rating, only minor flaws.

That is what I meant by my "below the belt" comment, we are still cool I hopes.
