American Brown has turned out passable, but not stellar. A little bit of a tart edge to it with a full body upfront that falls away rather quickly to a thin finish. The Simcoe is there but not prominent, kind of a whiff of orange, grapefruit and pine that falls away.
Weizenbock is still slowly chugging away, down to low 1.020′s. The sulphur has dropped right off. Still has an unfortunate balance to it that reminds me of a bad alt I brewed with K-97 a couple of years ago. No banana or bubblegum aromas present yet. I’d almost written this batch off but each sample seems to be tasting slightly better than the last. Sachet #2 of this yeast will go towards something gentler & lighter, probably a generic hefeweizen.
