First brew tasting

[redarmy990]

So my pale ale is carbonated and i have just drink the 3rd bottle
1 thing I notice is it has a slight yeasty taste.

Will this get better in time or was it a problem with the brew.

thanks for any feedback

did you let the bottles chill and allow the yeast to settle to the bottom?

did you make sure not to pour out the bottom of the bottle?

The bottles chilled for 2 days and left around half inch in the bottle, to eliminate any sediment

How long did they carbonate and condition?
If it's less than 2 weeks or so, and less than 1 week in fridge, then yes, the yeast should settle better and compact down on the bottom. Then when you pour, go easy and leave the last 1/4 inch or so. Personally, I like the yeast and drink the dregs from the bottle. They're a good source of B vitamins.

Thanks jim, they carbonated for 3 weeks, tasted a bottle last week and were not carbonated enough, so left them. Put in fridge yesterday and tasted tonight
Carbonation spot on, its not a strong yeasty taste but you can taste it.

Time will heal all wounds and beers. I have had a couple beers that I thought were less than great but with some aging they came out great. My wheat beer I have on tap now was a little yeasty tasting, not a bad flavor at all but now that it has cleared it is my best beers I have made.

Wow that is so clear, in fact im just reaching for the glass to taste it.
