Hello,
I have this certain beer with a backstory. Having a tube of WLP670, I decided to make a saison like beer. Nothing out of the ordinary about it, 6.8%abv, 26IBU, extract with specialty grain mini-mash. The beer fermented to 1.014 and I bottled it on a calculated amt of priming sugar. A month later, I had massive overcarbonation. It obviously wasn't done fermenting; a slow terminating yeast. So, I uncapped all the bottles, poured into a 6.5gal bucket and let it rest again. A few weeks later, I rebottled on a standard amt of sugar.
Now, it is near a month after the rebottling. The carbonation is weak-ish. Now the WLP670 American Farmhouse Ale blend is supposed to be a blend of yeast and not yeast (Brett or something?) to give more sourness, wild-like.
The character of this beer is flat. There is no lacing in the glass, the head is rocky and does not persist. I am not very familiar sour beers so how is this supposed to smell and taste? Can it mimic beer flaws like stale, cardboard, etc...?
Any sugg/help is appreciated. Thank you,
Peter
