Every batch that i make (Partial mash) seems to have a strong bite to it. It's difficult to describe the taste, but it sort of over powers the beer. It is sharp (possible astringency), and it is the strongest down at the bottom were the yeast has settled in the bottle. Maybe it is the yeast (safale-US05), but i dont think it should have that strong of a taste. It's annoying becuase it cover up the citrus notes of the hops, etc.
No matter the style, it is always there.
I cant figure out where it is coming from. any ideas?
The only cure that i have found for it is to let the bottles condition for a while. My current batch is going on 4 weeks in the bottle, and the taste is still pretty apparent.
