Nothing Special

2006-10-15 11:26pm

Brewed this beer for the first time last month. It is decent, seems to comply to BJCP standards of Standard/Ordinary Bitter. But, the beer is just that, ordinary. Bitter taste is strong to a degree, not much malt flavor, no aroma. My brewing resulted in diacetyl, a little too much if you ask me. Personally, I think sampling the beer at room temp, rather than fridge temp, tastes more English. I plan on submitting some bottles to a homebrew contest soon for an outside opinion.
