OK, I lashed out last week and bought a ctn of Murrays Nirvana PA as a bit of a treat.
3 out of the 4 packs are now demolished with mates over for a BBQ but something was telling me its not the same as I remember or not quite right. I just put it down to me and being slightly inebriated.
Anyways last night I cracked an Alpha PA (which I passed as meh, not worth $85 a ctn) then a Murrays. As the cap fell on the bench it landed next to the APA cap, both bottom side up, and noticed that inside the MNPA cap had brownish/blackish spots and the APA was the normal translucent colour. I thought it was a bit odd and on looking closer it looked like mould spots growing in the rubbery stuff. So the attention went from the cap to the beer itself. Poured it into the glass, very highly carbonated, cloudy and smelt a bit odd, hmmm, take a sip and it tasted like the others I have already consumed, but it definitely wasn't quite right. Can't describe the taste though - but as an uneducated guess old beer thats been sitting for a few years. Checked the BB dates and it's 07/10.I didn't take much notice of any of the previous beers out of this ctn except the taste.
So anyways I went and grabbed a few of the empties out of the recycle bin and checked the caps and they were also had that black spotty colour. Does that give any indication there is something wrong (apart from the taste) with it or what the problem could possibly be?
Cheers
