I'm no expert, but I was asking the same thing a few weeks ago. I think my fermentation happened too hot/too fast.

Slowed my next batch down with the swamp cooler technique. Not finished yet, but...

Side by side tonight. Not even close. The homebrew is much darker and is much more pronounced on the hops.
