So I have a wet hop ale from my 09 crop. I have always detected something in it that I do not like. I have had two other experienced brewers taste it and they either couldn't pinpoint it or didn't pick anything wrong up. I know it is supposed to be grassy which it is, but there is something else there. I suspect the brewer who didnt pick it up had a beer before that compromised his pallet. Im not sure how to describe it but I pick up some sort of slight chemical or peroxide taste. I can almost taste the great malt beginning and hop ending behind the strange flavor. I would say I am good at picking things out in beers but I have yet to experience any infections or off flavors so am not very educated in tasting them. I just had great divides fresh hop and liked it which pushed me to want to figure this out. I am willing to send a bottle or two out to have others try to nail what it is, so who on Home Brew Talk has the best pallet for faint off flavors
So who can help me or who would you guys recommend?
