Funk Metal... be warned.

What chemical sour taste? You mean yeast flavor?

 

I

no, it is just an unpleasant chemical taste like drain cleaner. I love sours. Love em, and have had some of the best in the world. But their yeast cocktail just doesn't do it for me.

 

now there are instructions for opening beer. what's next?

 

It might be the amount of lacto they use. Ive noticed harsh taste from lacto dominated beers.

 

A lot of them already tell you what glass to serve it in and what temp. to serve it at. Now, it's when to open it. Beer for dummies?

 

Maybe... Need more pedio...

 

... You drank drain cleaner?

 

Don't be juvenile, it is a figure of speech, as one says tastes like poop. It is an implied taste based on the odor.

 

If you want beer for dummies or for the mainstream, then you definitely don't want to be drinking jester king. I'll agree that their brews are by no means perfect but it's fun to follow along with them and the progress their making. I was one of the people voicing my opinion that I'd like to see more carbonation in their sours so I can't complain when it swings the other way to be a little over carbed. Having brewed a little I personally have no idea how bottle conditioning after extended time in a barrel goes(or with using a yeast that has high attenuation).

These guys are making love or hate brews. After watching and listening to some of their interviews I at least appreciate their passion for beer. I surely don't love all their beers or agree with all of what their doing, but I do respect the effort.

 

Is it possible for a brewery to issue a recall?

 

One that comes to mind was Boulevard Chocolate Ale from 2011. I think 2 of the batches that year were infected and they recalled them. Then they never brewed it again.

 

I am not sure if a brewery can call up a store, say Specs and say "give us back this beer, it is infected" or what ever. Though I know several breweries will issue press releases when they find a problem. Usually saying they will refund the purchase of said beer. Boulevard did this with Chocolate Ale, and Avery did it as well with Black Tot.

 

I still have one of those infected Boulevard Chocolate Ales. I need a reason to open it already cause it sure isn't trading for much.

 

I still have two Black Tots

 

Just open it and if it sucks Drainpour it. I have a beer in my cellar that I am not motivated to open. Freetail 3 was a diacetal popcorn bomb when I had it a year ago. I have heard that can settle out with some age. Also have some Dark Lord 2012 which was so sweet the last time I had it.

 

I'm gonna take it to a bottle share and just set it down. I am interested to see how its holding up but I doubt I'll be able to get through a whole 750 ML of it.

 

DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

only if you stored it wrong. 3 years strong NEVER, I REPEAT, NEVER, had probs with WBDPP.

 

So you're saying that 512 stored it wrong? Some of those bottles were geysers fresh.

 

The 2012 version of WBDPP is the over carbed one. I have not had any gushers as I opened them, but they are a bitch to pour.
