That temp is pretty low for ales, at least IMO
Perhaps, fermentation was not complete at bottling, causing over-carbonation and the off flavors, do you notice sediment being kicked up when you pop the top.

Extract doesn't have a long shelf life and oxidzes pretty roughly, particularly liquid, I find the taste to be of wet leather or wood, but it's definitely distinctive, and bad

Yes they do... especially when the hop is fresh... for best results brew with relatively hard high carbonate (burtonesque) water... I have made with straight RO and it does not carry the hop flavors nearly as well
