Funky Buddha More Moro

Had it Sat at WOB Lk Mary. Was really really good and ooooh so cloudy. Only time will tell what recipe we get in bottles.

 

damn the bottles won't be released Wednesday due to faulty labels

 

the never ending saga....these guys can't catch a break.

 

"Faulty Labels"

 

said the same thing

 

The FB post said the ink was bleeding off of the labels.

 

I called my total wine and they had the Brown rep in the store at the time and he said distro won't really get it until next Tuesday.

 

I've heard bad things about this batch already and it all stems from the base beer. Oh well.

 

More Moro tends to be very inconsistant at least on Draft. Each Keg can even vary. At one place i had a glass and it was cloudy and tasted great. Went back the next day had another one (same keg) it was more clear and just not as good.
The keg had been on for a day when i got the cloudy glass. So it wasnt from movment of the keg.

I guess to ramp up production they have had to change the recipes. Kinda sucks. Last Snow is nothing like its original self in bottles and on draft. Hop Gun is not as good and now MM. Maybe fast growth is not a good thing.

 

IDK, I think we tend to look at Last Snow with rose tinted glasses. Same with MBCP, we look back to the simpler days of the lounge.

The first time I got to taste Last Snow was at their fist lounge anniversary party...god damn... They've never been able to reproduce that feeling but it could just be that I've had a shitload of beer since then, it's hard to remember exactly what a beer tasted like so long ago.

So rather than try and force these beers to live up to what I remember as pure greatness, fuck it, enjoy it for what it is today. Personally I loved the Last Snow in the bottle and didn't care for MBCP. Not into orange beers so I can't comment on More Moro.

As far as Hop Gun and Floridian, they are both good, but there was this one batch of Hop Gun Morgan made with citra...they should bottle that recipe.

Also, it really sucks that Morgan left but Kevin has been doing a great job brewing in his stead.

 

Let me ask a question - note I'm not being snide or snarky. Could your opinion have changed because Funky Buddha is no longer a personal experience since they have expanded and more people are drinking it? Some people boycott their neighborhood dives because they become mainstream and get more out of town customers. I had a bottle of Last Snow and it was phenomenal. I also enjoy Hop Gun and Floridian however I'm not in the area therefore I don't know what the old recipes are like.

 

I love the new Brewery as opposed to the lounge. .. Lounge was kinda weird for me. But to each his own.

 

ABC Fort Lauderdale has it in stock, Two 4 pack per person limit

 

yeah they guy didn't really seem like he knew what he was saying. I'm sure FTL has it.

 

Anyone see this in SW Florida yet?

 

Called Total Wine Kendall yesterday was told Friday morning it will be on sale. Called Total Wine Pinecrest today and they didn't have it currently, I'd imagine they will have it for sale either later today or Friday moring.

 

anyone pop open a bottle yet? what's the verdict.

 

Quite good. Pours like what's been on draft lately but taste and smell are like original More Moro.

 

that's great news. I have some waiting in the fridge after work.

 

The Orlando Whole Foods on Sand Lake has 6 or so cases right now if anyone is looking
