Crooked Stave HopSavant
Wild IPA - 6.7% ABV Pete Trying to mix sour/wild and IPA, bad idea. This is one of the worst beers I've ever had. It legitimately smells like poop. It might taste better than that, but once you've given it a sniff, it's hard to get that out of your head. Ratings: Pete - 1 Shyoh |

Crooked Stave Nightmare on Brett - Blanton's
Dark Sour - 9.666% ABV Pete I like this one a lot. Malty with a hint of bourbon and pretty darn sour. I don't remember the Leopold version, but based on what I said, this comes off as more sour. This one is aged on Blanton's bourbon barrels. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Crooked Stave Nightmare on Brett - Leopold
Dark Sour - 9.666% ABV Pete A little funky, a little sour, and smells like bourbon. If you like those 3 things, you'll like this. I do, so I really enjoyed this one. This version is aged on Leopold Bros. whiskey barrels. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Crooked Stave Petite Sour Blueberry
Sour - 5.5% ABV Pete Quite good sour. It's a touch funky, a good amount of sour, and a hint of salty. I didn't really notice any fruit, which is a shame, but it's still worth getting if you like sours. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Crooked Stave Petite Sour Peach
Wild Ale - 4.5% ABV Pete Pretty light tasting, in addition to the color. A little hint of salt and a little hint of fruit. Pretty easy to drink, just not a ton of flavor. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Crooked Stave St. Bretta - Spring
Wild Ale - 5.5% ABV Pete Super drinkable with a tiny bit of funk. Tons of carbonation means the flavor doesn't linger long, and makes you come back for more quickly. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Crooked Stave Surette Reserva Palisade Peach
Sour - 6.2% ABV Pete Really sour and super peachy with some more flavors in there that I can't pinpoint, but they add a nice complexity to the beer. Can't ask for much more. To be fair, I had this after a truly horrible beer, so my rating could be a bit skewed, but I doubt it. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
