I'm in the camp that does not like to use the term sour as a noun either (good commentary on that, though, fellas) because there are so many more flavors available in the wide ranging beer styles we are talking about here.And there are many levels of tart/sour.

A beer should be considered sour in comparison to the drinkers standard beer of choice. A beer with a light "tartness" is sour to me but probably not to someone who chooses straight lambic as their drink of choice.
