>  
> Late in the winter (06') I made a California Common.  In my humble 
> opinion it was a wonderful brew.  I've been drinking it for about a 
> month or so; maybe I've consumed 15 - 20 bottles (hey I was sharing it 
> with friends too!).  Nothing has changed, the storage location is the 
> same, the storage temperature is the same, it smells wonderful and 
> still taste great.  It has always been a little bubbly, not quite 
> Champagne like but I'd get 3/4" of head in the glass. 
>  
> Here is the problem:
>  
> The last three bottles have just erupted in a spew of foam.  I pop the 
> top of the Grolsch bottle, it sits for 15 seconds or so and 
> then spills over the top, and spills, and spills, and spills.  Same 
> batch, same conditions, no evidence of contamination, nothin', nada 
> has changed.
