just had a sample.
it's not bad. not as bitter as the last one and i reckon i know exactly why... the hops that i used hadn't been stored in the freezer and had gone a bit yellow/brown. i did run the age of hop calculator through beersmith, cos i reckoned the AA%'s were low, but i dont think i compensated enough as there's barely any bitterness to it.
lesson learned and all opened vacuum packed hops are now in the freezer :thumb:
it's actually VERY quaffable though because of the lack of bitterness. it's not sweet, just hasn't got alot of hop character. i'll give it a few more days to mature and i reckon this'll go down faster than the TaRd 2 :)
