    Eh, it's MBCP all over again. At least Last Snow wasn't a letdown.

    Total Wine (Millenia) had a 8 cases yesterday, but never limited it. It's probably all gone today.

    Total Wine Colonial will have it today, not sure if there will be any limit.

    Total Wine FM has them. Looks like just one case. Single bottle limit - 4 dollars. Ugh I feel dirty.

    Total Boynton got a ton today. No limit. And $12.49 a 4 pack.

    It's on the seasonal shelf and all over the store. Looks like they got like 20 cases.

    This isnt More Moro. It's essentially false advertising.

    Yeah it's a different recipe from the original unfortunately. More Moro was my favorite FB beer last year. Now it's my least favorite with this new recipe. I wrote them to change it back to the Original. Hopefully after the know about all the disappointed fans they will.

    I had it on tap at the Brewery last month and it was just ok. And FB employees even acknowledged there were problems with it which delayed the bottling. I am surprised they ended up bottling it if it didn't turn out right. Bloodline by Flying Dog is a pretty solid Blood Orange IPA for those looking for a good alternative.

    Bought a 4 pack on Friday and also agree it just isnt that good this time around. I loved it on tap and when they did the 22 oz bottle release last summer but this is not the same beer. I was at craft beer cartel in fort lauderdale today and they had like 4 cases sitting there. Not interested in buying more. But had some great beers on tap at their 2nd anny festival!

    It's not a bad batch it just doesn't have nearly as much blood orange in it and is no longer good. Their official reason is they wanted it to taste more like a "beer." Instead it just tastes like a shitty IPA with a little blood orange in it.

    I think the problem is that they make these exceptional beers and then try to change them, but keep the same name. Well the new recipes just don't live up to our expectations. This goes for other beers besides More More, IMHO.

    One thing that can account for the change in the level of Blood Orange taste is that if they are using differnt batches of the Fruit from different groves the flavor profile of the Orange can be much different. Since they now need probably 10X the amount of oranges they did for the original batch

    My guess is that they are now brewing with the blood orange instead of adding copious amounts at the end of fermentation. This would explain the bitter taste in light of the sweet blood orange flavor the beer used to have. The original recipe was more of a beer-mosa. I would think the formula was too expensive to mass produce. That's why they have opted for extract in many of their "culinary" lineup beers. Ex: Last Snow.
