The beers are real but what makes beer great is that the taste is subjective. What you like and what I like can be different and it is good because if everyone liked the same thing it would be a dull world. I have a hard time drinking the big three Miller Bud and coors. I like beers with more flavor like the higher gravity beers which by the way have a much higher alcohol content. I don't look down or pity people that drink the big three, I know what I like and I drink it. Drink anything...

that's like saying you should never put cheese on nachos.

Some things are better with something else added. Like a shot of Jameson dropped into a Guinness. A little salt in a beer. Lime in a mexican beer. Beer mixed in to Irish Stew.

These silly absolute rules really cause you to miss out.

and I can taste a pretty big difference. I mean bacon and tripe are both pork, but they taste completely different.

they can't taste completely different, because they aren't completely different.

It's possible the strawberry brew was a short-term run. I don't see it listed on their web site.

Is one of the most disgusting beers i've ever tried in my life. Me and some buddies were trying some new beers several months ago and one of the six packs we picked up was that shit. We left four of them in my friends fridge. That shit tasted like you poured out half a natural light and filled the bottle the rest of the way up with cherry kool-aid, and I'm a big fan of Sam Adams. And yes I agree that the Strawberry Abita is a tasty brew.

there's a couple of good locations for obscure brew here in Starkville.

To answer the original question of the thread, I really don't care for the orange in my Blue Moon. But aGAIN, to each his own.

At least in my experience, you get the flavor of beer then the flavor of cherry syrup, rather than the cherry being part of the overall beer taste.

Yep, I'm very certain it is a strawberry brew. Abita is a client of ours and I'm pretty familiar with their lineup. I am not a fan of their Purple Haze as it's a bit sweet for my tastes. My wife likes it though.

Sam Adams Cherry Wheat is of course the standby, but it's still good. I love Pete's Wicked Strawberry Ale, one of the few beers for me anyway that is actually thirst quenching. I didn't know Abita had a strawberry beer, are you sure you aren't thinking of Purple Haze, which is raspberry flavored (and it's pretty good as well).

I've always frowned upon people being snobby or picky about drinking. It's your money and your liver, drink what you like.

I ain't buying the COMPLETELY different thing.

I do, however, stand corrected on the cilantro/coriander component in Blue Moon. I tend to interpolate the two.

BTW... how's Texas?

Coriander, Coriandrum sativum is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae. The name 'coriander' in a culinary context may refer to either the seeds of the plant (used as a spice), or to its leaves (used as a...

Your boss is a grown up baby and probably has secret homosexual feelings he is trying to mask.

Orange Slice in Wheat Beer

feeds@yuku.com (NatchezReb) — Fri, 16 May 2008 11:20:52 GMT

Last night I went to a social event with my boss, a few coworkers and the summer interns that are here for a few weeks.
My boss talks junk about the orange slice in my Lienenkeugel Sunset Wheat and says no real beer is served with a fruit slice.
So question is: Are Sunset Wheat, Blue Moon, Blue Heron, etc. real beers?

I vote yes.
