I just opened up a bottle of my Centennial Blonde. Great clarity, bit darker than I want, and a cardboard taste to it. I think I know how it happened though. Towards the end of my bottling I tilted the bucket and at one point it slipped, sloshed, and made a bit of a mess. Thinking my biggest issue was infection I kept bottling the last 6-12 bottles.
I have a good idea which bottles were the last ones, but my issue is that this batch was made for a family reunion the first weekend after July 4th. If some of the earlier bottles turn out fine I'll probably still use them and just drink the others myself. Hope I don't have to dump the batch due to oxidation from something else.
