It must be terrible for you!!!

Surely they use isomerised hop extract which would make that impossible...I can't imagine Newkie Brown ever having seen an aroma hop although I haven't had any for a long time now.

That's what I heard, too. Buy a bottle and have a whiff though

The emporers new clothes effect seems to be prolific among homebrewers.

Indeed, but I will ask anyone reading this to leave their trial jars out in the sunlight for a short while and deciding for themselves

Surely if your drinking beer down sarf the little cocktail brolley supplied with your beer will protect it from the sun?

Gee thanks, that must be it. I always wondered what they were for.

BTW, does anyone know at what point in the brewing process beer becomes susceptible? Is it just when it's been fermented, or should I do my mash & boil by moonlight just to be safe?

As an experiment I once left a bottle of Old Speckled Hen on a windowsill for a month. Could hardly taste the difference between it and a normal bottle -- just a touch of sulphuriness. On the other hand half the bottles I buy at Tesco do seem to have it, and I blame the neon lights. It's not just the cat's pee aroma, it's the fact that all the other flavours have become dulled. Never noticed it in a pub garden, though.

Nice bottling video, Chris.
