Hopworks DOA is a "Strong Ale":
16* Plato
55 IBU
7.0 % alcohol
I picked it up at the brewery and it was filled NOV 17th, so it was pretty fresh.
I only think overcarbonation because releasing carbonation has helped with the off taste, but at most I didn't have the PSI at 13 for more then 48 hours. I did turn off the CO2, and release pressure from the keg and let it sit overnight. The next morning it tasted a little flat, but the off taste was gone from what I could tell. I haven't tried it since I turned back on to 10.5ish PSI and will see how it tastes tonight. By then it will have sat with the CO2 back on for about 1.5 days.
I guess if there is still a problem I will have to find a place to test my tank and maybe replace the coupler.
As far as trying a "Big Brewery", hopworks is a pretty large brewery, and I have had several kegs from them in the past (Corny fills) that were good until they were empty.
