I have a very young beer, 3 weeks in primary and only a week in the bottle. It sure tastes good going down but in the finish I get hit with a very musty, dirt like flavor. Just an overpowering intensly earthy bitterness that quickly fades...but is just unpleasant.
I know the beer is young and I am hoping this goes away, but do you think this could be a result of an infection or oxidation?
Maybe RDWAHAB?
Just wondering if anybody has experienced this before. I didn't detect this flavor in the fermenter sample I tasted, maybe the yeast in suspension for carbonating need to clean up a little. Who knows.
