Hi all....last night I bottled up an american brown ale. So, I do the normal thing, I fill up the hydro test jar, take a reading, and then drink about half the sample. I thought is was pretty good...it had smoothed out some from brew day and I'm hoping it smooths out a little more in the bottle.
Anyway, I give the rest of the sample to the Mrs. to get her opinion. She takes a sip..swallows...ponders a second or two and then the faces start...then the tongue comes out..then "bleck..bleck....ptooy!!" "Holy crap, that's too bitter!!!" she says...
I thought it tasted great...not bitter at all......now I know everyone has different tastes, but I didn't expect that. Could my palate be that messed up??
