Cooking disappointment?

I just made my first corned beef ever.  My friend (RIP) made the best corned beef I've ever had.  Used beer like she did but mine didn't turn out as good as hers.  Mine taste like corned beef, the kind in a can.  There must be a secret to excellent corned beef.  I used 7 bottles of blue moon beer and cooked it for 6 hours. It was a 3 lb flat. Any comments?

    Did you start with a whole brisket and brine it?
    Apparently you over-cooked it. I have never cooked it; way too expensive. I did find this recipe for you. It looks easy if you buy one pre-brined.

    Thank you for the recipe, I'll use it next time. I may have overcooked it a tad.

    I think I used too much beer.
