Someone posted a poll regarding IPAs, and I was curious about why people liked sour beers, so I thought maybe the same principle could be applied to them as well, to get an idea about their relative popularity.
I've find them to be kind of nasty. I tried a Lambic once, from the bottle, and it was drinkable, but honestly probably the worst beer I'd had at that point. I tried a Raspberry Lambic at a beer fest, and everyone was raving about it, so I tried that.
I literally had to choke it down and focus on not throwing up. It tasted very much as though I had already thrown up some bile from my stomach. Well, I kept it down (can't waste beer), but I really made me set against ever wanting to try it again.
Now, to be fair, I don't care much for sour stuff. I don't generally eat fruits, and don't care for any fruit flavored candies or especially sour candies.
After that Raspberry Lambic, I got back to drinking the other stuff, and managed to wash the nasty taste away.
