BA Muy Bonita Issues?

A friend brought his bottle to a share and it was a gusher with a horrible diaper smell. It was way over carbonated, but taste still had apples and cinnamon. Didn't taste infected, but won't be surprised if it sours later. The beer is not pasteurized, but I'd be surprised if just heat caused the yeast to rouse the yeast into over carbing the beer and producing a garbage aroma.

Nothing bad has happened to my 3 MBCP bottles I've opened that I improperly stored on my room temp California shelves (75-80 F).

 

I've had 2 bottles and they were both delicious. No rotten smell or gushing

 

Awww you saved one to open with me. How sweet.

 

Guess hearing all of this, I'll be drinking mine this weekend.

 

I too got the rotten smell. My bottle fizzed up about 3 ounces of the beer and mine tasted rotten. My son in law who brought the bottle said it tasted nothing like he had at the brewery.

 

How is privately emailing the brewery more "scaring the brewery" than posting it in a public forum??

 

Nothing wrong with putting it up on the forum as it helps people know that there could be the chance of a bad trade if you get an infected bottle. I agree that they should contact the brewery to let them know what happened but it is a service to the rest of us that they are posting here as well.

 

Of course!!

 

plus, this is a beer forum where we talk about.. beer. good/bad/whatever.

 

Also, Ryan and the Buddha crew frequent these pages...so its very likely they have come across this thread by now.

 

I have a bottle that I bought at the brewery and has been sitting in my cellar because I was tentatively waiting until Thanksgiving weekend to open with some of my family. I wonder if I should drink it sooner now? A friend of mine that bought his at the brewery with me drank his recently and said it was fantastic - even better than on draft at the brewery the day of the release.

 

thanks to my boy @BlumBeer I got to drink one just a couple nights ago...he warned me too. But we cracked it, the initial aromas weren't the greatest, but honestly weren't the worst either. Certainly nothing as pronounced as "raw sewage," or "farts," or anything else I've read this week. It actually reminded me of over-fermented or mildly rotting apples, like apples that fall from a tree and just sit in the grass in the sun for weeks on end.

But as it warmed up and we let our glasses just sit there for a bit, it was fine, even the smell. Reminded me very much of apples & cinnamon. And the taste, wow, the taste was rather sublime. My buddy's wife described it as warm apple cobbler with a scoop of melting French vanilla ice cream. Yeah it was that good.

If anyone's worried about their bottles, I'll dispose of them for you.

 

Thanks Mark. Can always count on you for an honest description! Cheers!

 

no problem Josh, thanks for the chance to drink one!

 

Please drink that Saigon Blonde soon from Due South too...if I can passionately tongue kiss 1 beer in existance...it might be that one!

 

the worst part about being connected on Untappd to friends you trade with...they know how long it takes you to drink the beer they send you!!!

 

There have been quite a few reports. I'm assuming they have heard about it by now.

 

Yea...saw an email from a higher up at buddha sent to a buddy of mine where he addressed it and said they are working on what to do about it...

 

@Preismj apparently you're not alone on this one.
