Right now I am drinking my wild wheat beer. It has a leathery glove taste that is diminishing with age. So I think.....
Its the smell!! Right out of the glass I don't notice it with a wiff.
However, take a swig & pinch your nose and swallow. The taste is completely different.
I recall people saying taste is a lot about smell. How damn true.
FWIW - I was disappointed about the wild wheat yeast. My wheat beer is ~13-14 IBUs. It has virtually no hop flavor and aroma. This is reassuring that I need to re-brew with the strain but hop it up a good bit before I assess the quality.
If you have an IPA that you are drinking see if you notice a difference. I was really shocked. Don't let your buddies see you do this tho....
Let me know how this fairs for you. Difference in taste that is......Kind weird I know.... :cross:
