86/100) Unusual "German" Sours

I have set myself the goal to review three beers or ciders every week for 100 weeks. I will be learning about beer and ciders more as I do this, and if I am successful in this venture, I will have tried about 300 unique drinks. If you're curious how I'm doing, the number in the post's title tells you which week I am in now.

I didn't know Germany had sour beers, I thought at was more of a Belgian thing, so I grabbed these three thinking they were all from Germany. Clearly I knew nothing about them before trying them, because the third one on the right is actually a collaboration beer between Belgium and Canada.

Methusalem Johannisburger) Musty black currant juice. I really don't need to say much more than that. It's okay. Extremely light for a sour, not that I am a good litmus test for that. ☆☆☆

Methusalem Holunderheimer) Elderberry with a mysterious smoked touch. Smells like an alt, and is also rather light for a sour. I can barely get any sort of tartness on it, but I guess it is still there. Not a huge fan of this one, though I can say that finish grew on me. ☆☆☆

Shieve Tabarnak #2) An odd-ball Belgian beer. Smells fuzzy and farmhouse like, and the taste is similar to licking an herb garden. Flavors of mint, oregano, parsley, and dandelion all blossom on the taste buds. Perhaps we could call it a saison? Also, unbeknownest to me at the time of purchase, the name is a cuss word. The word "Shieve" means crooked and is a an allusion to a famous architect that I've never heard of. The "Tabarnak," as you might expect, is a bastardization of the word "Tabernacle," and together the words mean something naughty. I'd rather not have supported such juvenile naming practices. Oh well. Decent beer despite that. ☆☆☆
