I'm having a beer experience that I don't fully understand, and I'd appreciate everyones thoughts. It started when my Honey Blonde that hit the keg on 09/04.
3 weeks in the keg, it was a wonderful experience. Malty finishing with a hint of sweet at the tail.
5 weeks in the keg, it was a good hoppy beer, but lacked the complexity it had. Just a good brown ale. A touch bitter I chalked it up to a complex beer past it's prime. Ok...
6 weeks in. A tiny touch sour. So small it's difficult to discriminate between sour and bitter.
7+ weeks. It's definitely sour. Mild at first, strong on aftertaste. I don't care for this beer anymore. No vinegar or other off smells. Beer is clear. After 1 hour standing, residue does smell vaguely like stale beer.
Lacto infection or beer that's not aging well?
