Victory Brewing Sour Monkey Review

Crowd-pleasing sour beers aren’t easy to come by. Sour beers that nearly reach double-digit ABV? It sounds impossible, but here it is. Tropical aromas and Belgian spice on the nose lead into a hint of sweetness akin to Golden Monkey. The tartness cuts through, but softens again as it settles into its pilsner malt base. Gentle, friendly, and refreshing, it’s an impossible combination of sour, crushable, and high-ABV.
