Another defining moment in the history of COMDB. “Hedonism is the doctrine that pleasure or happiness is the sole or chief good in life” and just like Dr. Dre and Ice-Cube, that’s straight outta Compton.* Meanwhile masochism is deriving pleasure from pain. Can a masochist be a hedonist? The debate rages on.
I know for certain I am not a masochist, because I take no pleasure in the Editor’s comments and he can be a real pain. ** My own approach to “hedonism” is a little more down to earth, a frosty cold brew in the lazy boy with the game on the big screen, I guess I’m an epicure of fine brew. Not sure if that is what Epicurus had in mind, *** but like a good golfer once said about my game “different strokes for different folks.”
Scary, but tasty.
Once again Rorschach puts us to the test with another eclectic brew. At Flowfest I sampled their Slurpee Strawberry Banana Fruited Ice Cream Smoothie Sour, a name almost as frightening as the pour. But surprisingly quite tasty. This one, not so much.
A dark orange pour, solid with minimal head. The aroma, orange tang sour. The first taste is a very mild tang, OJ puree with a flat bitter and a dry mouth aftertaste, A boozy backbite as well. The taste is strong for a sour, more of a double IPA finish going on here. A super strong semi-sour sorbet sipper that gets stronger with each swig. The passionfruit and guava just never seems to show up. This just isn’t working for me, the fruit is over the top, the sour is a dull tang, and the finish is boozy strong.
I took no pleasure in Hedonism but I did finish it. I don’t think of that as masochism, it’s more like taking one for the team. Truth be told, if you want to pass the Rorschach test, try their Truth Serum.
