Hi all,
I'm sampling my brown ale that was bottled late August.
Well it is hazy/cloudy, I mean you can see through it but it isn't crystal clear.
It tastes ok but it's not my best.
I think I've narrowed it down to either a high fermentation temp or high dry hop amounts. I struggled to keep temp below 26oC due to ridiculous summer heat, and I dry hopped with 100g first gold
Now the flavour isn't bad but it has a bit of an unusual aftertaste almost like a kind of lingering dry sweetness after the bitterness almost cidery?
Will this be safe to drink? It is palatable, but I don't want to have a few and go blind! (Although I won't have to look at the Mrs which is a plus)
Anyway, opinions and advice please.
Cheers
