Upgraded Eleastic Search via Brew - now won't start with Unrecognized VM option 'UseConcMarkSweepGC' error

Was troubleshooting ES and figured I would try and upgrade to 7.10.2:

Dans-MacBook-Pro:~ aximus$ brew services restart elasticsearch
Stopping `elasticsearch`... (might take a while)
==> Successfully stopped `elasticsearch` (label: homebrew.mxcl.elasticsearch)
==> Successfully started `elasticsearch` (label: homebrew.mxcl.elasticsearch)

The start-up fails:

Dans-MacBook-Pro:~ aximus$ tail -f /usr/local/var/log/elasticsearch.log

    error:
    Unrecognized VM option 'UseConcMarkSweepGC'
    Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
    Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
        at org.elasticsearch.tools.launchers.JvmErgonomics.flagsFinal(JvmErgonomics.java:126)
        at org.elasticsearch.tools.launchers.JvmErgonomics.finalJvmOptions(JvmErgonomics.java:88)
        at org.elasticsearch.tools.launchers.JvmErgonomics.choose(JvmErgonomics.java:59)

        at org.elasticsearch.tools.launchers.JvmOptionsParser.main(JvmOptionsParser.java:95)

I have tried to re-install and link openjdk@11 (11.0.10) with no success. Currently dead in the water:

Dans-MacBook-Pro:~ aximus$ curl 127.0.0.1:9200
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 9200: Connection refused

In extension to Dan Tappin's answer. If the Elasticsearch is not installed but is being run from unzipped/tared location. The above file is located in elasticsearch-x.x.x/config/ folder. Commenting out the above will work (tested with ES version 5.5.1)

Stumbled across a related issue and realized that this was in my /usr/local/etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options file:

## GC configuration
#-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
#-XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=75
#-XX:+UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly

Commented these out and now it's all good 👍
