I made my first sour beer, pitched in January, added oak and have been aging about six months. Though I didn't really expect it to be ready, I decided to taste just a bit today. I made it with white labs sour ale blend (655) and a bunch of southern german lager yeast, IIRC. Fermented in primary at seventy.
It's pretty bland and the sourness is a little acetic. Will the acetic flavor change or go away, ever? I know there's nothing to do but wait, but I sort of what to assuage my conscience, or prepare it for the worst, now.
