Yumminess in a bottle

For my birthday my fiancée bought this bottle of beer for me.
Amount of brew in bottle: 750ml
ABV: 10%
Price: $23
Type of brew: Sour beer

This sour ale is brewed with currants and is barrel aged. Which made the brew fairly fruity and pretty sweet with a slightly bitter aftertaste that quickly vanished. I shared this beer with some friends and they where wondering if it was even beer and not wine. What does that mean to you? Mainly that the beer is a good beer for people who don’t like beer. Granted at the price we paid for this beer you can get a pretty decent bottle of red wine! The beer is pretty carbonated, very darkly colored, super easy to drink and really enjoyable. One thing you might have noticed is that this beer weighs in at a hefty 10% ABV which is no slouch of a beer. However, you could not even taste the alcohol in the beer which would be very dangerous if you wanted the whole bottle by yourself. The flip side to that though is that with many beers with alcohol levels in the double digits you have to be ok with tasting alcohol, so this beer was a nice change of pace.

The real question for me though is the beer worth the price? Personally I don’t think so. Even though it was a great beer I just couldn’t see dropping that kind of money on this beer. Granted it someone was to give me this beer I would greatly appreciate it .
