Figured maybe someone would know or have an opinion. Brewed an all grain Poor Richards Ale about 8 months ago. Beer was great. I decided to bottle about the last 12 pack worth of it and let it set. Havent touched in until yesterday and to my surprise it has turned into an awesome sour ale. Opinions would this be something worth entering in the sour category or any other for that matter, and which sub would be best ? This was the basic recipe below. The beer is not as dark as you would think from the recipe. very light brown and perfect clarity. Any help or opinions greatly appreciated thanks.
