I just dumped a bottle of consecration. Yep, I didnt like it. It was nasty!

Got another bottle up for trade.

Consecration sucked when I tried it too. Felt liked drinking a vinegar flavored lemon. Awful.

Wow! I know sours are not everyone's cup of tea but I have never heard it described this way

I'm a huge fan of the duchess but the.consecration I had was terrible.

I've had a post in the trade section well before starting this thread. The reply in this thread was simply a statement, not an invitation to trade.

So what do you want?

A refund.

Possibly I don't like sour beers? Which would you recommend?

That makes me shed a small tear. Hopefully the second bottle goes to a good home.

You should be drug through the streets, stoned, then burned at the stake.

Well that might be a bit harsh, but it makes me weep that you dumped such a beautiful beer.

Where'd you buy it? If it was at the brewery and you didn't bother to try it from the tap before spending your money then, well, caveat emptor. I think you don't like sours, but that can be ascertained without spending $25 on two bottles. It's a wonderful sour. World class beer...down the drain.

I guess...taste IS subjective after all.

 

[aeviaanah]

I bought it at a craft brew store. It tasted like red vinegar mixed with alcohol. Very hot. Almost burned as it went down.

^ could've been stored improperly. Date stamp? Older the beer, the more sour it gets, and storage temps can affect that. Many people purposely cellar these beers because they like the intense sourness, but if it were stored in higher temps it could get out of hand.

Consecration is a heck of an introduction to sours. Don't get me wrong, it may well be my favorite beer, but it's on the more out-there end of the spectrum for the style. Like, if you were introducing somebody to hop-forward American ales, you'd start with a nice pale, a Sierra or a Mirror Pond or something, because if you gave them your favorite extra-hoppy IIPA, great beer though it might be to your lupulin-shifted palate, they'd spit it out after tasting nothing but the bitterness.

A couple of beers that come to mind as far as having some of the depth and complexity of a Consecration, but with a little less sour and a little more sweet to balance the sour out: Duchesse De Bourgogne, Monk's Cafe, Panil Barrique, New Belgium's La Folie sour brown

I bought a duchess de bourgogne today. We will see how that goes.

 

[passedpawn]

Ichtegems Flanders Red is much less sour. You might like that.

I've got some Consecration in my closet. I love the stuff. I think I'll chill one down right now!

 

[aeviaanah]
