Hi!
I just recently discovered that some of my pale beers suffer from almond type off flavours when young. I googled it and found information about oxidation based almond flavour and thought, ok that's probably it, but the almond flavour seems to fade away with age which oxidation based flavour probably would not do.
After one or two months in the bottle, it is luckily almost gone. Looks like it is fading, or the yeast is just eating it.
Could it be that I am mistaking diacethyl butterscotch flavour for almond like flavour?
Some yeasts seem to create heavier intensity of the flavour as others do with the same recipe.
I will try extending my boil with the next batch to see where I get with that, but did anybody ever have a similar problem?
Thanks,
M
