BEER REVIEW: LAGUNITAS AUNT SALLY
Sour Beer
It may sound strange, but sour beers are made by intentionally allowing wild yeast strains or bacteria into the brew, making them taste "sour."
Lagunitas Aunt Sally
I know a guy who knows a girl that that has a cousin that knows some Lagunitas secrets ;p. I've been lucky and have tried quite a few less-regular Lagunitas beer flavors recently. Today's surprise was their Aunt Sally, dry-hopped, sweet tart, sour mash ale.
I'm a fan of sour beers and had no idea that Lagunitas made one. I like everything they brew and this is no exception. It tastes sweet, tart, and sassy, just like the cherry pie that your favorite aunt makes.
Ever tried a sour beer? What's your favorite?
I love a good sour beer, Aunt Sally is a reasonable sour, but there are better choices out there. What most of the beers from from Almanac Brewing come to mind - Dogpatch Sour is an amazing beer.
I totally agree. Lagunitas calls it their "gateway sour." It's not my favorite, but I'm a big fan of the brewery and I support their attempt at a sour. I'm going to check out Dogpatch, I don't think I've tasted that one yet.
@harveyword have you tried their imperial coffee stout? what you think?
