I think so,so many interpetations can be misinterpetated. Homebrew taste seems to me maybe they are interperting more bottle conditioned yeast style.Could even be the 'green'? To me,it seems just the yeast. I wouldnt even single out the local municipal water supply.
I don't know about that. I went to a homebrew tasting put on by a local store and most of the beers offered were kit beers from brewers best and from the store and virtually all of them had something about them that to me just screamed amateur. Improper temperature control, bad pitching rates, bad sanitation... I don't know. What I do know is that they all had a muddied taste, muted hop flavors and where generally just pretty "meh."
On the other hand there was one guy who had a phenomenal tripel. I find with my own beers they don't really broadcast "homebrew" to me like those ones at the tasting. To me they seem to taste like mediocre to blah commerical beers and a couple that have been damn good. I suspect that generally the homebrew taste vs the not homebrew taste is a matter of experience and technique of the brewer.
