    Thread 'tangent': I purchase commercial lambics and sours and really enjoy them. But not ready to commit to the time required to brew/age them myself. A pleasant surprise today when my latest fruit beer went sour/tart on me, or at least my taste buds. Neither previous fresh apricot nor fresh...
