So, last night I entered my first competition and needless to say the judges weren't keen on my beer and some of the notes were a little harsh.
My mates were keen to take the p*** and I asked for one of the spare bottles so they could try it. Upon tasting it it definitely didn't taste like what I'd brewed (or what one of my mates who'd tasted it remembered). Very bitter, plastic like and astringent.
I have one last bottle remaining so have cracked it open tonight and it's fine, just like I remembered.
So the question is what could have happened to my beer which I submitted for the comp? Transportation? Storage? Or just bad luck
It's a mystery to me. Any ideas?
