Just finished a customized version of a DFH 60min IPA clone and I think I may have dry-hopped for too long(two weeks). It's been conditioning in bottles for three weeks now, but upon opening, it tasted way too grape-fruity to me. I love hops, but my brew tastes almost more like sweet grapefruit juice than beer right now. I'm wondering if doing a late malt addition and partial boil contributed to this flavor(the clone recipe called for full boil and normal malt addition).
I've read some threads where people say this flavor can mellow with age. If that's the case, how long is "with age"? Other than combining it with another beer, can anyone recommend anything other than a bit of patience?
Thanks much!
