My latest amber ale is a bit weird in a way that is starting to seem common among my extract based brews (ie. un-hopped malt, 10L boil, big mess to clean up). The problem seems to be that I can't tell if they are too sweet or too bitter. There's this kind of taste separation thing happening, where I seem to taste each aspect individually instead of them striking an overall balance. It's almost like it's somehow simultaneously too sweet and too bitter! I should add that it's still quite young, but again it seems to happen to my extract brews. Pre-hopped cans have never exhibited this characteristic.
What's the deal?
