Hello everyone,
Finished brewing my first beer. My family and friends drank it this new years, and the feedback was generally good.
However, my dad and I think the resulting beer was a little bland? Was trying to brew Blue Moon clone, but could not taste any orange or coriander notes. My dad also told me the American Light beer tasted more "beer" than what I brewed. I had a similar observation as drinking from the bottle had less flavor compared when drinking from a glass since the aroma comes into play. Looking into improving my next brews. I doubt it's a watered down recipe because the target was 8L of beer, but I only bottled about 4L only.
Hoping to hear your thoughts on how to improve or what areas I need to look into. My recipe is:
