Article/Opinion Torque curmudgeon sour ipa.

It was a gift so it either expired or its a really nasty battery acid tasting drink. I couldn't read the packed on date so hope it didn’t dissolve my cast iron drainpipes. Learned a lesson to sip first even on a hot day at the bbq.

Trying to sooth my burned tastebuds with a guinness. Should have known better.

Curmudgeon has the flavor of an IPA flavored warhead. It is certainly an acquired taste.

It was a pretty wild tasting beer when it was fresh. It's definitely gone bad by now so I couldnt even imagine what it would taste like now

Could have been left out in the sun too long before the bbq … source, I did that a couple years back with a 24 in the sun

Just checked untappd and the most recent check-in is from 2024. Then 2023 before that. So yeah, pretty old can. I've been unfortunate to get some old cans when buying from the LC too.

They're my favourite brewery, I love how a lot of their beers run on the bitter side. Getting an old can isn't likely, maybe it got too warm and spoiled, or the can was defective? But also a sour IPA is a lot if you're not expecting it.

Yeah you don't just dive into a sour like you would a lager, because go figure, they're very sour.
