Grolsch Swingtop - New bottle? Yes. New taste? Not sure.

Post by Guybrush »

So I bought some more Grolsch from the LCBO and didn't notice at the store, but when I got home and opened it, I saw they are 450mL now, and not the old 473mL bottles. I think this might work to my advantage, cuz now i can bottle my homebrew in slightly smaller bottles, and wind up with more bottles by the end of the 'bottling' process.

However, I haven't had a bottle of Grolsch in probably 3 months, or more, so I can't tell if the flavour has changed or not.... I'm thinking it has changed, slightly toned down, less 'skunk'. Still 5% alc., though.

Anyone else had one recently?

Less skunk? Sounds like maybe you just got a fresh one!
