Hello all,
I about 3 days ago I kegged a batch of rye pale ale I brewed on January 20th and I have had it sitting on gas at about 65 degrees (room temp, I am using my keezer for fermenting at the moment).
I know the beer is VERY young but I drew off a sample today to check the carbing and one thing I noticed was that there was no discernible hop flavor or aroma. In fact, one of the only flavors, albeit a good one, that I noticed was that of the rye malt. The recipe has about 50IBU (according to beer calculus) and was hopped plentifully with high-alpha varieties.
Would it be normal for a 'green' beer to show these characteristics?
