Re: Drinking Thread: Three Sheets To The Wind
I prefer my beer to have flavor. I've had Merica, and it was good for an American Lager, but the bar is so low for American Lagers, that really doesn't say much.

Excelsior has a dragonfruit milkshake IPA that tastes like a dragonfruit milkshake. It’s phenomenal. I’m not sure bbdl has had raw dragonfruit before else I don’t think he would have tagged on it.
Dragonfruit is NOT sweet. The flavor is absolutely spot on. Delicious.
Also: two new tin signs in three stops! My garage is starting to fill up.

So, if this is correct, Excelsior just kicked everyone in the balls with this beer. I'll have to check it out.
That would be a major step up for Excelsior. I don't mind them, but they are just a beer to me. Nothing wrong with it, but just a beer. Also, many breweries have tried to nail dragonfruit and many come across as "meh" to many people, at best.

Which is why the negative reviews, I imagine. Although I'd say that your 99% is probably high.

Re: Drinking Thread: Three Sheets To The Wind
Guessing more than 1% have tried it, given its availability in heavily populated countries:
It has its origins in Mexico, South America, and Central America, but New World settlers probably brought it to Southeast Asian nations like Cambodia, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, and the Philippines, where it remains an important part of the dietary fruit intake. Dragon Fruits are originally from South America.

Re: Drinking Thread: Three Sheets To The Wind
That beer was terrible, at least the batch I had. It was cloyingly sweet, like an artificial sweetened syrup was added, with a sharp bitterness. It tasted to me like they screwed up the base NE IPA, making it too bitter, or using the wrong types of hops for that style, and they tried to fix it by adding more and more lactose. The issues I had with that beer had nothing to do with dragonfruit, it was just a poorly brewed beer.

Well, I had it several months ago, so this must be a new batch by now, hopefully they improved on it.

Omni FAD (NE IIPA):
Their tropical milkshake IPA was delicious. Decided to give this one a go. The taste is overly hoppy, although they did get the hazy juicy texture down to a T. I think a tweak or two, and it'd be up there for this style. I give credit on the "Freakin' Awesome Delicious" name, though. Nice play on that.
