We had a BBQ tonight, and old mate brought along a sixer of fat yak. Now I used to like the yak, a great deal even, but now I'm not so sure. It started at my sisters wedding a few months ago, when I had a couple of stubbies, and it just didn't taste right. I put it down to bad storage, being a small restaurant that probably turned the fridges off every night. A few weeks after that, I found a bunch of stubbies at my local bws that were half price because they were nearing their best before date. Not bad, but lacking the big hop taste I was assuming had faded away with time. Tonight, fresh yak, bugger all aroma and flavour. Is it just me, or has the taste of this beer changed? A different recipe to appeal more to the masses? Anyone else noticed this, or have I been sampling too many IPA's??
