About a month and a half ago I did a Pale Ale with some orange zest at the end of the boil. I used cascade and Willamette as my hops; about 4 oz in total including dry hopping.
After a week in the bottles the beer was great. My best batch yet. Nice and bitter and the beginning and smooth citrus finish.
2 weeks later, it tastes sweet, and I can't figure out why. It's been sitting in bottles, in the dark, always at about room temperature. Any ideas? I want to avoid this in the future...
 
Dunno, ipa's are funny. Mine are good for about 2 weeks in the fridge, then they start going south. New Glarus Moon Man, one of my favorite APA store beers seems to change too. Gotta have them gone in 2-3 weeks.
