I've become pretty finicky about sours myself, especially the uber puckering, immediate heartburn sours. The one I had, Forbidden Root, I felt was a little too tart, but I talked to them and they indicated this was their first attempt and plan to get it creamier and dial back the sour for their next one (key lime). A lot of the ones I've read about seem to be using lactose/milk sugar to add body and sweetness to balance it. Sort of a milkshake IPA with a more tart fruit presence by the sound of it. I'd like to try some others but those Hudson Valley's look hard to come by.
