Don't know whether to Roll On Floor Laughing or just sit here in a state of shock! Just Googled butyric acid:
"Butyric acid is found in butter, parmesan cheese, vomit, and as a product of anaerobic fermentation (including in the colon and as body odor). It has an unpleasant smell and acrid taste, with a sweetish aftertaste (similar to ether). It can be detected by mammals with good scent detection abilities (such as dogs) at 10 ppb, whereas humans can detect it in concentrations above 10 ppm."
Hmmm, yes, I see what you mean Doc! Also explains why my dog loves VB so much.
You were also spot-on about the isohops. Apparently Coopers use POR to bitter their Aussie Bitter, then top it up with iso at the packaging line.
Interesting....
[shock over - now ROFLing!)
