Just tried Sierra Nevada IPA this weekend. I've always liked their Pale, but IMHO the IPA was terrible. There was less hop aroma and bitterness than the Pale, which is opposite of the way it should be.
It also had a really "off" taste that seemed it was from the bittering hops. Don't know how to describe it, but my first thought was that the beer was oxidized. After a few more drinks it seemed like it wasn't necessarily oxidation, but just a weird kind of stale hop flavor.
Has anyone else noticed this? I'm wondering if it was just a bad batch. My wife and a friend also tried it and noticed the same thing.
