Even if it takes you down a different path than expected, you will undoubtedly learn something. For example, you may love architecture and discover that the work environment is too individual, or you may love PR and find that you really enjoy writing. In either instance, you\u2019ve gained valuable insight to make future career decisions. Work requires a lot of energy; try to pick a role or industry you truly enjoy and be honest in assessing what keeps you motivated.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDoes the company culture excite you? \u003C\/strong\u003EWhen you\u2019re hired into company, you\u2019re also hired into its culture. It\u2019s important to consider whether this is the type of environment that will challenge you (in good ways) and empower you to achieve your best. Think about other settings where you excelled and whether this environment has comparable attributes.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDo you like \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003Eyour boss? \u003C\/strong\u003EThis may sound trite, but it\u2019s critical to make sure you have a connection with your boss. This person will have a profound impact on your work experience. Consider whether your manager will be a good advocate. They should encourage your development and growth through new opportunities and constructive feedback.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAre you part of the solution?\u003C\/strong\u003E Evaluate what the challenge is for your boss or your employer. Ask yourself whether your role is a position where you are able to be part of the solution. The more you\u2019re able to drive an agenda forward, the more invaluable you\u2019ll become.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECan you define your strengths \u201chorizontally?\u0026#8221; \u003C\/strong\u003EWe often limit ourselves by what we have studied or what is reflected on our resumes. Instead, I suggest challenging yourself to keep an open mind. For example, it is possible to go into finance if you majored in art? Can you transition from an industrial career to one in technology? By thinking broadly about your capabilities you will open new doors and have the confidence to succeed.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAre you network\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003Eing\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E? \u003C\/strong\u003EIf not\u003Cstrong\u003E, \u003C\/strong\u003Edo so.

You\u0026#8217;ll smell the coriander it\u0026#8217;s made with, but the mouth experience is more citrus-like, with hints of grapefruit and green apple. The salt brings about a slight pucker at the finish, but it\u0026#8217;s not overwhelming. And if you\u0026#8217;ve got access to it, it could easily become a favorite summer beer. (ABV: 4%)\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERussian River Consecration\u003C\/strong\u003E \u0026#8211; Widely considered one of the best sours on the market, Consecration is a well-balanced ale that\u0026#8217;s aged for 4-8 months in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels. It has a tangy tartness that mellows into a beer with black currant\/sour cherry notes that linger a bit on the finish. If you\u0026#8217;re unable to get your hands on this, Russian River\u0026#8217;s Supplication (a sour brown ale) is just as good \u0026#8211; and maybe better, depending on your tastes.

The company labels the bottles as part of its \u0026#8220;Lips of Faith\u0026#8221; series. The sour cherry flavor that goes with this style of beer is present, but La Folie is unquestionably a heavy pucker sour. It has a nice yeasty funk and good acidity and it\u0026#8217;s a beer that would seemingly pair wonderfully with Chinese take-out. Worthy of note: It\u0026#8217;s only available in a bomber bottle, so find someone to share it with \u0026#8211; as 24 oz. may be too much for a single person.

It\u0026#8217;s a Flanders oud bruin style beer that smells and tastes of sour cherries with a dark red\/brown appearance. There\u0026#8217;s a malty sweetness layered in with the sour that balances things nicely \u0026#8211; and this is a beer that really opens up as it warms in the glass, giving it a wonderful compexity.

Sour Bikini is tart and refreshing, but not overpowering. The ale and sour tastes get a bit muddled, but that\u0026#8217;s not a bad thing, actually. There\u0026#8217;s none of the hoppy bitterness you might expect from an ale, with citrus instead proving to be the lingering flavor. It may be a bit light for colder climates right now, but it\u0026#8217;s another example of a sour that\u0026#8217;s well suited for warm afternoons.

Let it warm up a bit, though, and it\u0026#8217;s a flavor explosion in your mouth. The tartness is fairly muted. In fact, it\u0026#8217;s an incredibly sweet beer, leaning more towards the Lambic family with its fruity tastes. It\u0026#8217;s a great way to finish off a good meal.
