If you're interested in trying some sour beers now would be a great time to head over to The Porter. They have a handful of well balanced sours that would be a good introduction without being overwhelmingly sour.
Hitachino Red Rice: I mentioned this one yesterday in my last sour beer post. This is a great sour that mixes flavors from Japan and Belgium.
Smuttynose Brett & I: This is a little fruity and doesn't have as much Brett funk as I was hoping, but still delicious and refreshing.
Ommegang Hennepin: Nice example of a farmhouse saison that I previously wrote about here.
Then head over to The Brick Store for Allagash Interlude, a complex, fruity, fairly intense American wild ale and Kasteel Rouge, the beer that started the Flemish red style. There's not much real difference between a Flemish red and brown except the color. This one was seen as so beautifully red that it deserved a style of its own.
Update: Sorry, I just happened to re-read this and I realized I confused some sour beers. Rodenbach is the original Flanders red and Kasteel Rouge is brewed with cherries.
