I popped open the first of my homebrew on Friday. An American Amber from a Brewers Best kit. Been in the bottle 2 weeks.
I was a little disappointed at first; it had a definite roughness to it. Later on, going through the list of off flavors in Palmers "How To Brew", I determined it was definitely a green apple flavor. A little more time, and I think this will really be good.
Opened another on Saturday, just to see if a different bottle would have a different flavor, and lo and behold, this one had much less of the green apple. I got SWMBO (not much of a beer drinker) to try it. She said it tasted good, but a little harsh. Right now, I'll take that as a compliment!
Can't wait to try the weizen I bottled last Monday! :rockin:
