I did the obligatory searches, but I didn't find much about this topic.
Anyway, I recently cracked open a bottle of my light lager that I brewed back in late Nov. 2009, and lagered until about a year ago, then bottled. It was about 1.050 OG, and about 20 IBU.
It had this weird tang, and lack of malt flavor to it that I didn't expect.
I guess what I'm trying to determine is whether it's just what year-old beer would taste like, or if I had some kind of sanitation breakdown that took a long time to manifest itself.
