Tea Sour Beer Help

[Bigbre04]

That would be good I think! Or Hibiscus! Years ago I flavored Kombucha (which can be sour) with Hibiscus tea and it was delicious. Actually... I need to legit try this now that I'm thinking about it.

The Earl Grey ESB is pretty bitter with a bit of dry astringency, in a good way, but this is even though I added a little honey malt which the recipe did NOT call for. I figured from the recipe it would end up pretty bitter and I just wanted to balance that more (I always add honey to my actual tea so why not try to capture that in my tea beer haha)

I like the idea of the hibiscus black tea sour.

I will likely go with the powdered black tea and ratio that out.

now the question is how to get and how much hibiscus

boss man was not super keen on just straight cranberry sour. we shall see if i can beat him down on it.

if not just straight cranberry what else would be a fall/thanksgiving flavor for a sour???

To me Cranberry is a "tart" flavor as opposed to a sour flavor. Tart as in it has a dry bitter finish to it, too much isn't pleasant. Increasing amounts need to be offset with sweetness.
Just my opinion for what it is worth buddy
