Considering the extra cost and that beer is healthy for you I don't know I would go out of my way for them. Though for a homebrewer I could see an appeal. I think the side by side is the most telling of the beers and a good angle on the organic vs regular beer. Regarding the Phenolic BJCP study adds besides Charlie's answers that it also could be due to oversparging or overcrushing of the grains. http://www.bjcp.org/study.html#trouble Great test for building beer knowledge I just want to know how scored already (we tested in August).

The band-aid smell comes from compounds known as “phenols�. The can be thrown off by yeast, or can be present because of inadequate rinsing of sanitizers on the brewing equipment. In any case, we’re talking off-flavors here. I didn’t notice any in our Plowshare…maybe you got a bad bottling run… Hey SOBbro,

The band-aid smell comes from compounds known as “phenols�. The can be thrown off by yeast, or can be present because of inadequate rinsing of sanitizers on the brewing equipment. In any case, we’re talking off-flavors here. I didn’t notice any in our Plowshare…maybe you got a bad bottling run…

Why is it so reassuring to have Eric back? Say - during my taste along, when I sniffed the Old Plow Share, I think I finally got my first whiff of this "Band Aid" smell I've heard about on other beercasts. What might cause that and is there any special reason that this particular beer would have it? Another fun show. Why is it so reassuring to have Eric back?
