Ok I've now done 3 brews using Willamette as a flavouring hop and all have the same unplesant taste. All have been completely different brews all using different yeast and still the same underlying taste comes through.
I'll go through them
Fermentables
1. Sorghum extract with dark roasted buckwheat steeped
2. Sorghum, rice syrup, dark candi syrup
3. Malted/Mashed millet and small amount of sorghum and candi syrup
Yeast
1. S-05
2. Nottingham
3. Munich
I know the taste of sorghum and it's not that and there is very little in these brews anyway. The only other things that are similar are I use super alpha as a bittering hop (but I don't think it would be that), yeast nutrient, whirlfloc tablet and cascade for aroma.
I'm planning another brew with different hops to see if its it but has anyone else experienced bad flovours with willamette?
