last nite i made the official switch to my keg setup, and racked from the secondary to the keg.. i force carb'd it and tossed it in the fridge.. i woke up this morning and poured off a glass to give'r a taste (some times i need that pick me up to get me to work...) it tasted pretty bitter (hoppy).. i dont mind this, but am wondering if it will become less harse over time.. and if i'm going to let it sit for a week or two, should i leave it in the fridge or would i be better off taking it out.

thanks guys..
 
From my very limited experience I would leave it at 55 deg F. minimum preferably 65-70 to age/mellow. The bitterness will get noticably mellower over time. Patience, grasshopper (I know, it sucks!).
