So I opened a bottle today and thus stuff tastes like an acidic sour porter/lambic. I love sour beers so in a way this is a nice accident. It has cleared up, has a nice small bubble fizz to it, no head retention at all. Smells like you would expect, porter/cider/acid mix. What I'm trying...

Thanks very much for the replies. I'll try another when I get home from work today. I tried the beer before I bottled and it was perfect, exactly as I hoped this recipe would turn out. Tried a bottle after 1 week and it was too early, barely carbonated, and had the odd cidery/sour flavor...

Thanks for the reply. I am new so I don't know if this will get better with age or if I should dump it out. It actually tastes good to me, and my wife. Just completely not what we wanted. We got a sour brown ale, and wanted a malty hazelnut porter... I will give it a few weeks and try...

I made a porter, which tasted exactly as I wanted after the primary was finished. Sanitized everything, bottled, waited 2 weeks, cracked one open, and the beer tastes completely different than before I bottled. It has a sour/cidery taste. I used Wyeast 1187. Is this just due to the yeast...
