These sound AWESOME, a fruit only known as "miracle fruit" makes sour things taste sweet for about 30 minutes and can dramatically change the way things taste during that period of time. -Guinness with lemon juice added tastes like a chocolate shake??!?!

There's a few sour beer nerds who have tried them before sour beer and have had some interesting results.


The berries themselves are very perishable and most places have huge minimum order requirements but they're also available in a tablet form that works for about 20 minutes vs. 30 minutes.

A sour beer tasting event where beers are first tasted as normal and then under the influence of the "miracle fruit" would be VERY cool, indeed.

They're holding parties in the USA with these fruits as the star of the show.

That is so cool. I would LOVE to get my hands on some of those and have a party just like they did.

But with more beer, obviously.

I'm going to be in D.C. for 2 weeks starting 3 weeks from now and I'm already trying to get some speciality "East Coast Yeast" (mixed Saison strains plus Brett) delivered to my hotel; it wouldn't be too much more work to get a few packs of the tablets delivered there, too.

I can't commit to anything until the new arrival's impact on our social calendar can be assessed.

Sour2sweet.com[/url:3ihczayj] seem to ship internationally, so it shouldn't be too hard to get your hands on the capsules.
