I made a Belgian Ale from an extract kit just over a year ago. My wife absolutely loves this stuff and this just so happened to be the fourth time Ive made this particular kit. So on the 3rd of October 2012 I whipped it up, threw it in a carboy and plunked it into the basement. With the impending holidays, a 1 year-old, and life in general I completely neglected the beer until I had some free time. So on the 26th of December 2012, 84 days later I cracked the carboy open and bottled it. I had a sample and it tasted pretty terrible. It tasted the same way that a Band-Aid smells. After it sat for a couple of months we cracked open a bottle and found it to be completely undrinkable. The after taste was so repulsive that we couldnt convince ourselves to take another swig. Thankfully, my wife put her foot down to me dumping it all down the drain. As it was her favorite beer and given the large brew space Id commandeered in the basement, we decided to tuck it into a corner and try it after a long while. Fast forward to November 2013 when we found ourselves with no beer in the house. We each cracked open a bottle and found it to be just perfect. No after taste, nicely carbonated, loads of great flavor. Despite being in Primary for 84 days, despite tasting terrible at bottling, despite sitting in a bottle for a year, it tasted like great beer. While it may sound like a broken record on so many of the posts here; patience and time can heal many of beers ills.
