hopIQ found 10 beers with the same funky and sour character as WE ARE WHO WE PRETEND TO BE. We Are Who We Pretend To Be from Beachwood Brewing in Long Beach, California is a Gueuze-inspired spontaneous sour ale that channels the storied lambic tradition through a distinctly Southern Californian lens. It pours a hazy, pale golden straw with a fine, evanescent head. The aroma is immediately captivating — tart green apple, lemon rind, horse blanket funk, and a whisper of oak. On the palate, assertive acidity drives flavors of wild cherry, fresh hay, and aged citrus peel, underpinned by a pleasingly dry, bready complexity. The mouthfeel is light and effervescent. The finish is long, clean, and bracingly dry with a lingering tartness that rewards contemplation. A confident, artfully crafted wild ale. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
