It’s okay, fruity, little funky, and dank. Do I need to buy it? No. Is it drinkable/crushable? Yes. If you can get 1 I’d recommend it.

I’ll say they grow on you. I didn’t like sours at first. Now I love em.

I tell people who are interested in trying sours to follow my 3-sour rule. Try drinking one sour. On another day try another sour. On a third day try yet another one...preferably all three are different sours.

The first sour is quite foreign to your taste buds, like an explosion in your mouth, usually way more sour than one expected.

The second sour you pretty much know what to expect, so they're able to move past the shock and concentrate more on the taste.

By the third sour they are mentally comparing it against the previous two sours and deciding which one they like more.

At this point some are hooked, and others, while not necessarily hooked, are no longer afraid to drink something out of their comfort zone. And that's still a good thing, no?

Of course I do know some that aren't able to finish sour #1, yet alone proceed to 2 and 3. I find they tend to be the BMC/ Lite drinkers. ;) j/k (maybe).

Honestly dumped the first sour we tasted. Did not know it was a sour. Thought it tasted terrible. Since then my taste buds have changed. Should try and snag another bottle of that stuff to see if it was the brew or just my inexperienced taste buds.
