Alfheim is an outstanding sour beer with a beautiful sense of restraint. I could finish a whole bottle on my own and not feel overwhelmed. Superb balance, good drinkability, and a touch of intrigue make this a beer worth seeking out. Highly recommended.

Chevalier Vert | Brasserie Artisanale Albion
Albion does it again. This beautiful brett pale ale really stands out.
It’s missing the intangibles of a world-class brew, but it’s well worth seeking out. The beer is delicate yet characterful and it boasts fantastic drinkability with superb balance.
Sainte-Flore | Flore Sauvage
Sainte-Flore is below my expectations. It ends up being on the watery side with very little depth. Where it does show character is in the aroma – and it’s unpleasant with a big animal/fetid quality.
Assiduous: Rye | Reverence Barrel Works
This beer is worth a trip and it’s my favourite Reverence offering to date. I highly recommend you try this as it’s worth seeking out. In addition, If you’re in search of a gateway beer for wine drinkers, this is it.
Opus Two | Counterpoint Brewing Company
I highly recommend this. Most sour beers these days lack balance and character. Opus Two has both. It may not be obvious at first, but you’re looking at a rare treat here – one that exceeded my expectations.
