I know that @mobilehaathi loves a good sour (seriously, try to track down the gooseberry sour - the Trolltunga from the Buxton Brewery - it is gorgeous, and I am pretty certain that you's love it), and I find myself craving them a lot more as summer approaches.
In truth, I like sour and bitter flavours, anyway: I love bitter chocolate (or, rather, I cannot abide sweet chocolate), and bitter marmalade, and adore citrus fruits (as should be more than clear from my posts describing what I have had for breakfast).
Even as a child, I far preferred half a grapefruit (I love grapefruit to this day) to any sweet ever on offer (butterscotch possibly excepted) and would cheerfully demolish a tin of grapefruit segments all by myself if given the opportunity and let loose on a tin or two.
But Founder's KBS is rightly considered a classic.

Yes, me too; I've always been fond of bitter and sour flavors.
Cracked open bottle number 2 of "Founders KBS". Yup it is just as good as I remember!

A brilliant beer; make certain that you enjoy it down to the very last drop.
Poured an inky Founder's Kentucky Burbon Stout tonight, what a delicious treat.
Two superlative beers; I like each of them quite a bit - do enjoy them.

This is on my buy list for my next visit to the Beer Mart aka "Total Wine"!
And how did you like it??????
Haven't tried it yet! Tonight for sure, I'll post up some results. It's showing a 95 on BA, so I'm pretty confident it will be *amazing*
My second beer of the night is the terrific stout from the Buxton Brewery that goes by the name of "Yellow Belly".

For no other reason other than it is a nice day out and it was in my bar.
Stone Brewery 2016 WooTStout, and yup I loved it!

Sipping a glass of Chablis Grand Cru, crisp, dry, elegant, refined, beautifully balanced with a depth of flavour and heft and structure that are quite exquisite.
Mumm Napa's Santana Savor
It's amazing how much better Mumm's stuff is than Korbel et al despite being essentially the same price.

Sampled several Rieslings (at a wine tasting); this is a grape - to my mind - that the Old World is somewhat better at, and I far preferred the Rieslings from Alsace, Austria, and Germany to anything else.
For my next Riesling from Alsace, I most certainly shall do so. Salut!
This evening involved a Pliny the Elder followed by a Founder's Kentucky Burbon Stout
