I finished off my DAB six pack with a mate laste night and it got us both talking about the big burst of grainy sulphur aroma that is the most prevolent when you first open the beer. It makes another appearance in the aftertaste and curiously guides me to the next tasting to analyse it again . It reminds me of the Dutch-brewed Heineken, which has a pretty well spoken reputation for such a flavour. I'm not talking about skunking at all. It's not a flaw - it's quite common in "premium" Germanic lagers and I'm simply not at the level where I can accurately communicate flavours/aromas, but someone must know what I'm talking about.
Can anyone explain what contributes to these flavours/aromas? I wouldn't mind deliberately exaggerating them where applicable in the odd German lager.
Cheers,
