Well I brewed 2 batches (amber ale and weizenbier BB kits-extract) and they both had a distinct taste and smell to them. I couldn’t quite pinpoint it at first. It was on the sides of the tongue in the back. The smell was kinda sour. I was thinking I might have had an infection. After being patient and waiting (the bottles have been carbed for well over a month) the taste and smell didn’t go away.
Then it finally hit me after having a Sam Adams Boston Lager at a restaurant one day. It was the exact smell and the taste….well was less in the SA but was there.
Is this normal? I’ve brewed 3 more batches (all extract from NB –Honey weizen, kolsch and cream ale) and have yet to taste them fully carbed.
Am I worried about nothing and this is what they’re supposed to smell like?
Is it just because my BMC taste buds and smeller haven’t been accustomed to this? I mean afterall drinking beers out of a can doesn’t really give you a chance to actually SMELL the beer
is this the/a difference between an ale and a lager?
