    +1 on Threes, I also throw Folksbier into the mix as well, I never had anything I wouldn't have again and they have a wide variety. I miss being able to walk from OH to Folksbier and chill without having to squeeze through people.

    This is a joke right? I feel like you’re at the cutting edge of stouts and double barrel has been a thing for a while

    I preferred the similarly fruited mmm...fruit dream (7%, not the 4) when trying both last year.

    edit: but i would absolutely roll the dice on this one if you like big fruited "berliners."

    I feel like RauchbierFan is more perceptive than @rozzom

    Just picked up some beer, they were dumping a pallet of florets can by can down the sewer... If you're quick you can get in on the ultimate drain pour.

    Why stop at Florets?

    Seems like a stealth batch of ACE is showing up at bottle shops. Good Beer and Beer Boutique both posted recently.

    Never had DFPF, but I've had Orange Dreamsicle and Ginger Yum-yum and both were really nice as far as fruited berliners go. Fruited berliners and pastry stouts (kind of strange for Miami but w/e) are JWB's thing. If your baseline is mmm.... fruit, I'd go for it.

    Anyone else think passion fruit taste like soap?

    Maybe people that think that are the same people that think cilantro tastes like soap?

    I like cilantro... but it seems I'm not alone on passion fruit after googling it.

    Yeah the announcement came Tuesday and they didn't put it online until yesterday, but I went on Wednesday and (gasp) made the purchase in person. I'm very much looking forward to drinking this one - last I had it was NYE.

    Edit: maybe this works?

    Actual passionfruit is delicious to me, but whenever something is passionfruit flavored it tends to come off like shampoo to me. Same thing with mango.

    Because it suddenly became topical, I updated an old favorite for (most of) this crowd...:slight_smile:

    Yesterday I saw some OH cans (Citra+Galaxy, Baby Diamonds, Forever Ever) in my closest local bottle shop out here in western Suffolk. Never thought I’d see the day (it’s not exactly a hotspot). The rest of the world may be going to hell due to COVID, but it’s become the Golden Age of beer availability.

    That it is! Maybe others in the area would appreciate knowing which bottle shop specifically?
