A Note on This Beer

I thought I was a pretty good baker. Until I attempted a Lemon Meringue Pie.

After slaving away in the kitchen for an eternity, my “pie” looked a little lumpy, and it tasted more than a little bland.

So, in an attempt to save the evening and curb my ferocious sweet-cravings, I cracked open a can of Westbrook Brewing’s Lemon Meringue Pie Sour! Let me tell you, I’m gonna leave the pie baking to these South Carolina brewmasters from now on.

Additions of real lemon, Madagascar vanilla, and cinnamon generate notes of lip-puckering citrus filling, luscious meringue, and cinnamon-spiced graham cracker crust. Not to mention, Westbrook brewed this one with lactose for a milkshake-smooth finish.

Fans on social media are infatuated with Lemon Meringue Sour, calling its succulent flavors “pure heaven.” Those people are lucky, because new releases from Westbrook are hard to come by — outside of a few east coast locations, Tavour is one of the only spots to snag a can of Lemon Meringue for yourself!

Save yourself the failed-pie heartbreak and crack open a can of Westbrook’s dessert, instead.

Westbrook is mentioned on practically every “best from every state” list from USA Today, Thrillist, and even Business Insider!

Definitely has the lemon meringue taste. Having had similar styles from other breweries, this wasn't especially unique to me or worth the markup, but it does have the flavor it set out to capture

Not as tart as expected despite the lemon. It genuinely tasted like pie, with hints of the cinnamon and milk sugar rounding out the tartness.

Excellent Gose. Really does taste like the pie. I wish it was more tart, but it’s still tasty enough to enjoy after a BBQ dinner outdoors.

Sweet, a little spice, and that milky smooth taste and mouthfeel. I just wish there was a little more tartness.

very mellow for a what I expected to be more of a “sour” which was a pleasant surprise! very easy on the pallet with a nice lemony flavor backed with minor creamy and graham notes!

Excellent. One of the only “food inspired” beers I’ve had that is truly reminiscent of the food it’s inspired by - while still remembering that it’s a beer at its core.

A little disappointing. I got lots of pie crust flavour in this, but not nearly enough lemony tartness.

Unfortunately the can was probably bad. Tasted like soap. Not appetizing at all.

Lemon flavor without being very sour, really nailed the pie flavor. Hoping it pops up again on Tavour.

Tastes just like a lemon meringue pie. Full of flavor with each sip, you can taste the lemon meringue to the crust of the pie! Another great Gose!

Simply delicious! Perfect level of tartness, whenever I see the term 'sour ale' I'm always a bit weary because that term can Encompass beers ranging from mild Berliner weisse to mouth puckering wild ales which I simply cannot stand. A light mouthfeel, hitting all the notes listed and what you would expect from lemon meringue.
