No...Sure Doesn't!
When you say sour...you mean like...warheads sour? Like Vinegar Sour?
You're beer looks great to me (assuming that those white spots dont' have tenticles on them)
Take LOTS of notes when you taste those samples. Write down EVERYTHING that comes to mind. They will be usefull in 6 weeks or so when you're bragging to all of your friends that YOU made that stuff!

Looks normal to me. I can't really see the white spots floating on the surface that well though.

Looks fine. I had one batch that looked like that. I let it ride. Turned out to be the best I've done thus far.

When I say sour I mean maybe green apple sour...I don't know about vinegar, but it's not a warhead sour. It smells sour too...the smell is more vinegar-ish.
Being only my second batch, and a style different from my last batch, and with all the problems I had with the brew day I guess I'm paranoid.
I guess I'm just like every other noob on here wanting confirmation that they haven't ruined their "child".
I guess every batch is different...

Dammit Evan! That is almost freakish. I'm sure you did that on purpose. I've read enough of your posts to have a good idea that you're more skilled than that...wow.
I'm really starting to feel a little better...I've kindof been freaking out. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to this stuff.

Yeah, it's a flanders red with roeselare blend on 'er. I've had 2 infected batches (unintentional), and both happened in bottle.
