This was my attempt at producing something along the lines of Karl Strauss Soured Red Trolly. They had a barrel aged sour at their restaurant which was fantastic.

Pilsner with Wyeast 2007 (Budweiser yeast). It's a very simple beer: pretty much all pils with a touch of carapils and acid malt. Clean ferment at lager temps, diacetyl rest and about 1.5 months of lagering. By now it is very clear in appearance and very tasty!!! Crisp and easy drinking at 4.9% abv.
 
I brewed some Red Trolley clone, then soured it back by blending with some pre-made Petrus 100% Foeder beer, then bottled it with some priming sugar and some extra US05 yeast. Turned out pretty good. I’ve done this several times, works out pretty well. At the fridge bottom is a bunch of other sours made that way. Easy way to experiment with sours.

I had never thought of doing it that way - really clever! (Incidentally, I *hate* Petrus Aged Pale, but I guess you could use another sour beer in its place.)
 
first batch. Citra Amber Ale. Brewed with 2-Row, Munich, and Crystal (I think crystal. owner at LHBS just started throwing malt into the mill and added what was left over from his previous mill to my grain bil). Fermented with Lutra Kveik. Bottom pic was before carbonation. I just love the look of my grolsch bottles lol

Two half pints are a pint, right?

Irish Red Ale on the left, California Common on the right. They look quite similar but taste different. I’m pleased with both. I’ve brewed the Cali Common quite a few times; this was the first time brewing the Irish recipe.
