My roommate and I have noticed that our homebrews taste better at the end of the glass. It seems like the first few sips taste a little off but then it goes away and the rest tastes great. By a little off, I mean that there is a subtle extra flavor, like extra bitterness or a mild alcohol flavor. Not necessarily bad, but it is there. Has anyone else experienced this? The possible reasons I've thought of are:
1. Temperature increase leads to more maltiness, which balances the hops.
2. Our taste buds are slightly dulled.
3. We're not as critical after the first few sips.
Or maybe it's something else.
