Beerlust Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Maybe the strain they used to ferment it contained some BRETT & it got bored & decided to start chewing on the can? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Side by Side taste test - Coopers 2019 Vintage Ale One guess as to which is the homebrew version. Coopers Commercial (CC) 2019 Vintage Noticeable alcohol smell Some Cascade hop aroma too Strong Ale taste Good bitterness that lingers Homebrew (HB) 2019 Vintage Under carbonated (only 2 weeks in the bottle) Spicy fruit cake aroma Much more hop aroma than the commercial version, which is obviously older My tasting expectations are high because the hop aroma is more inviting than the CC version Taste is smoother than CC version Residual sweetness, even though it finished at 1.010. It might be that the priming sugar is not fully consumed and that might explain the under-carbonation level. Similar lingering bitterness to the CC version Summary Prefer the aroma of the HB Prefer the taste of the CC Hope I get some more carbonation going in the other bottles, that will help offset the sweetness HB is not an exact clone, well not mine anyway 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oi, he's constantly ragging on lagers, might as well fire a shot back I still maintain that I didn't mind the one you sent me just not enough to brew a whole batch of it. Other ones I've had I've not enjoyed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies @Aussiekraut that's the Northern Relatives influence... ; ) I used to work with a fair few guys from the north. Ostfriesen you know. They kept harping on about JePi as they called it. Hardly ever delivered any though Not bad as far as I remember. Haven't had one in a good 25 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzza Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 @Aussiekraut Sad to hear that did not drop a few brews off... yeah this was my Aunty's 'Haus Bier' in the vicinity of Hamburg - and honestly it was a very refreshing 'herb' Bier and went sooo well with a dish known as Herringe Hausfrauenart… with fresh spring potatoes... a lunchtime serve... how beautiful it was... the salted Herrings in cream with gherkins apple and fresh onion with the fresh Salzkartoffel spring potatoes... offset by the lovely crisp bitter Jever…. mmmm….. beautiful. Good beer goes so well with good food! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der kleine Drache Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) A DIRE WARNING TO ALL!!! If you are traveling Europe and got a hankering for some beer, do not try Lausitzer Porter! It tastes like a bad attempt at recreating Coca Cola. Sweet is the least I can say. Some German breweries want to hop (!) on this brewing trend and have zero clues what they are doing. I have tried quite a few German IPAs that have been far too sweet. Do not buy 12 bottles without trying!
