1st beer drank... results

[smithnick0]

Brewers best imperial blonde ale. Boiled partial boil. Sat in primary for 4 weeks. Been bottled for 3 weeks today. Stick one in fridge last night to try. When I opened there was a little siss. Taste strong which it is supposed to be, but it tasted more hoppy than I expected. How will the taste change or will it not anymore?

The hoppy taste will diminish a bit over time. Are you sure it's done carbonating? You said it didnt hiss much and there doesnt look to be much foam on top. Did it pour with any head to it?

No I poured down the side. I figure another week it should improve?

The 3 weeks seems to be the minimum to let bottle condition. The longer the better is what I've read here.

Ditto, especially with imperials...will only get better with some time (and hops will diminish, as said)
