I have brewed a couple Pale Ales and IPAs now that have tastes better before carbonation then they do after. I don't believe that it is a sanitation issue because the beer doesn't have a distinct off flavor. It is actually a little bland. You can smell and taste some of the hops but not much else. It is also very bubbly. I'm starting to wonder if I am over carbonating the beer. I have been adding a straight 5oz per batch. But now have figured how to calculate the exact amount. What I'm wondering is if over carbonation can alter the flavor of the beer.
