    Cause of smoky phenolic flavors

    Two out of four of the beers I entered in the Indiana brewers cup were claimed to have had phenolic flavors. I didn't really notice myself. The beers were an IPA and amber ale. I was wondering what causes this off flavor. I and others thought the beers were great.
