Hermit Thrush Brattlebeer
Sour - 5.2% ABV Pete Pretty funky, and more sweet than sour, with tons of apple flavor. It's good, but a bit expensive. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Hermit Thrush Fish In A Barrel
Sour Farmhouse IPA - 9% ABV Pete Collaboration with Trout River Brewing (haven't had any of those as of 1/4/19). This beer is just too funky. It's hard to get much else out of it. If you like funk, you might like this, but I'm more of a moderately funky kinda guy. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |

Hermit Thrush Fou D'or
Sour - 5.9% ABV Pete Great straightforward tart beer with a little hint of funk, but not too much to overwhelm. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Hermit Thrush Green SIPA
Sour IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete Damn good dry sour. There's maybe a hint of earthiness from the hops, but this is just a great sour more so than it's any form of IPA. High carbonation and super tart. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Hermit Thrush Green Street Sour IPA
Sour IPA - 6.8% ABV Pete This is dark, it's sour, it's hoppy. All of that could be good in theory, but in this case, it's just weird. Ratings: Pete - 2 Shyoh's |

Hermit Thrush Party Guy
Sour - 3% ABV Pete Tastes nothing like it looks. Just a big ole sour bomb, quite delicious. I would rate it even higher if not for the absurdly low alcohol. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Hermit Thrush Party Jam Blackberry
Sour - 5.9% ABV Pete Pretty sour, a little fruity, and mellows as it warms. Very good, but most of the others of this series are better. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Hermit Thrush Party Jam Blood Orange
Sour - 5.9% ABV Pete Pretty sour with a little bit of saltiness and fruit to balance it, and a tiny bit of funk if you really think about it. Quite good. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Hermit Thrush Party Jam Guava
Sour - 5.9% ABV Pete Damn good sour. Super sour going down with an obvious guava finish. Exactly as described. Highly recommend. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Hermit Thrush Party Jam Mango
Sour - 5.9% ABV Pete Starts super sour and fairly funky, then the mango kicks in. It's a fairly strong mango flavor that sticks with you. Excellent beer. Wish I had gotten more than a taster. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Hermit Thrush Party Jam Passion Fruit
Sour - 5.9% ABV Pete Quite tart with just enough passion fruit flavor to prevent the tartness from overwhelming you even after you put it down. Love this beer. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Hermit Thrush Party Jam Plum
Sour - 5.9% ABV Pete A little bit salty, very sour, highly carbonated, and a little bit of fruit in the finish. Plum is a pretty subtle flavor, so this let the sourness shine. Very good. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Hermit Thrush Party Jam Strawberry
Sour - 5.9% ABV Pete The strawberry flavor doesn't come through all that much in this beer, leading to the real dominant flavor just being a strong sourness. I'm not complaining, the sourness is quite excellent. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Hermit Thrush Party Jam Tangerine
Sour - 5.9% ABV Pete Very tasty - mildly sour with lots of citrus. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Hermit Thrush Po Tweet
Sour - 5.2% ABV Pete Damn good sour. I don't get much from the hops, but it's a great sour. As an aside, this beer says it's "100% locally hopped". Do they normally hop their beers in some other location? Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Hermit Thrush Rye Barrel Rye
Rye Sour - 7.5% ABV Pete I got more sweetness than sour from this one, and it just really did not work for me. "Rye barrel rye" should probably not be a sour beer. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Hermit Thrush Stickney Kriek
Sour - 5.8% ABV Pete This beer has a hint of cherry flavor, but mostly is just sour. I'd say it's a 5/7 on the sourness scale. It's incredible. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |
|
Hermit Thrush Windham Flora
Sour - 5.9% ABV Pete Pretty funky. It was aged on wine casks/puncheons, but I don't really get any of that. Still, delicious, albeit expensive, beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
