This ‘Sour Me’ may just be the fairest one of all. It’s made from the rare ‘Black Apple,’ sometimes called ‘Black Diamond Apple,’ which has a deep purple hue and is reminiscent of something in possessed by an evil queen. You’ll experience enhanced tartness from the fruit addition with a touch of sweet. Go on, have a sip...

Deep caramel and light brown coloured body with a thinnish tan head that finishes clean and doesn't leave anything on top after a few seconds. Aroma of very strong soured and tart cherries and especially apples with a light pear note and some subdued spices as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong apple and pear flavours dominate here with some sweetness, but more tart and soured flavours that hit nicely and bring out a spiced element at the end without much depth and hardly any malts. Aftertaste is soured, tart, very fruity and showing some cider-like elements including dryness and soft spices, but goes down clean and easily with a good apple bite and the tartness of course. Overall, a pretty nice beer that shows the soured and especially tart sides with a lot of apple notes but not much malt or complexity - pretty straight-forward and enjoyable with a good spice note at the end. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Ye Old Spirit Shop in Frederick, Maryland on 09-February-2021 for US$5,39 sampled in my hotel room here in Grand Rapids, Michigan on 02-August-2021.
