I brew frequently and like to try new things, most of which I read about here. I've brewed 4 beers with Cosmic Punch, one with Lunar Crush, and one with Star Party. They were/are all drinkable but have that one flavor that I've come to recognize as that overripe fruit (peach?) flavor. At first, I thought that "this is interesting, I think it's cool", but no longer. That one note overwhelms the more interesting hop combos that I like to try.
I've done the mash hops, tried Phantasm a few times, and played with hopping rates (for Cosmic Punch), but all the beers are just "meh". None of those beers make it in to my "To Brew Again" folder. But just make it into my "A Good Beer" folder. I guess I should be happy they didn't end up in my "Kicked" folder.
Anyways, to quote Aaron Lewis: "Am I the only one?"I don't want to discourage others from trying it out for themselves. And, to be honest, most of my friends loved the beers, but they'll drink any and all the beer I brew .
