Every time I make a pumpkin ale (3 batches) I get this weird aroma. It sorta has a weird chemically alcohol smell (not a normal beer alcohol smell) and a bit like strong chlorine. I use bottled spring water to make all my beers because my tap water has a pretty noticeable chlorine smell/flavor. I don't notice this aroma on any of my other beers (porters, stouts, browns, IPA's). I know that infections can cause weird off flavors/aromas but hard to believe that out of 15 batches of various style beers that the only 3 that have this weird aroma were the pumpkin ales. Has anyone else had this as well? Any ideas on what it could be?
