Alright... here's the deal. I became a little impulsive and I decided to brew beer in my apartment while the temperature outside was still a little warm. I kept the air conditioner on fairly consistently but the temp did peak at 75, maybe even 80 degrees.
After 3-4 weeks in the bottle the beer has an off-flavor of butterscotch or maybe banana. It's pretty apparent and the beer is essentially undrinkable. I've read a little about diacetyl, but I've found nothing about that flavor being aged out.
Basically, how likely is it that this beer will be drinkable? How long should I let it age or should I just dump it now and call it a day?
Anyone have a similar experience?
