The off flavor is certainly not grassy. It's celery.
I did not boil with the lid on plus I am under the impression that dms is not a concern with malt extract anyways.
The hop addition could explain it as I've never used Goldings before to know what they contribute.
The beer is based...
I recently made an ESB that has a very vegetal/celery like off flavor in the aftertaste. What could be the cause of this?
