The reaction you describe exists but this is not generally referred to as sour in the context of beer tasting. Carbonic and citric acid are usually described as "tart" or "acidic" flavors, with "sour" generally being reserved for lactic or acetic acid.
- GoldenRacer 3y agoThe guy that initially commented on it being sour was talking about Czech beers and using Euros so I assumed they were European and English might not be their first language. Their language may not have the distinction you described. I believe German uses the same word for sour and acidic for example.
