It was too sour for my mate and my missus, but I absolutely loved it. Worth trying just so that you can reset your taste buds' "sourness scale" to have an extra five notches at the top for "bloody hell, I didn't realise it was possible for any food or drink to be this sour, it's insane!" :lol:

Tangfastics make me sweat so maybe this is best avoided.
 
Tesco have a few new ones in, £3 each but you'd pay more in a specialist beer shop

I've got a few to try, the milk stout and the West Coast IPA were ok, but won't buy again as the Vocation Love and Hate and the blueberry waffle stout set a decent standard and seem to be still available.

Lidl have a cracking beer festival on at the minute if you go in. Loads of good Scottish beers in. The Loch Lomond 6% IPA was excellent

I was disappointed in it. I guess I expected something more. Worth the price though.

Some nice ones there. Had one of the collaboration IPA beers and it was superb. That blueberry waffle one they've had in a while was great. The yeastie boys one.

For my birthday, my craft beer-drinking mate bought me a can of ludicrously expensive sour beer, a lemon and raspberry one that has to be the single most sour thing I've ever tasted. Proper "take the skin off the inside of your mouth" sour. It made Tangfastics seem like milk drops. After I'd finished it I had a gulp of grapefruit juice from the fridge and it tasted like I was drinking water in comparison.

Absolutely amazing. Loved it. Wouldn't want more than one can in an evening, like. Crikey. SO SOUR. A proper "sip" beer.

Omnipollo Raspberry Aniana Pale Ale:

Omnipollo - Raspberry Aniara Pale Ale - HonestBrew

Nearly £8 for one little 330ml can. Totally worth it. Try it if you can get it. I gather they're pretty rare and hard to source.

I like a sour sour but Aniara is too much for me, the sourness totally overwhelmed the flavour. Plenty of people seem to love it like, depends on your tolerance to sourness I guess.

Granted there's not a lot, or there wasn't at ours, but the price for some of them was worth it in itself. I'm not a big fan of Elvis Juice as it's a bit strong, but £1.49 a bottle or whatever is practically a steal

Elvis juice is on permanently at Tesco for £1.12 too.

mates place has a blueberry maple stout on at the moment. Not my choice of drink like.

Haven't had a drink in about 8 weeks due to taking tablets, last drink I had was a Jam Doughnut IPA- Tiny Rebel. Was lovely!
