So I made my first hazy neipa a few weeks ago based off of the several neipa recipe threads. It turned out amazing except for one thing. It was kegged about 2 1/2 weeks ago and the first few ounces of the first pour for the day taste like wet cardboard. I have always wondered what that oxidized wet cardboard tasted like and now I know.... After I drink the first couple of ounces of what I assume is in the 8' of beer line, it tastes amazing. I have kegged many beers over the last couple years and have never had this issue. The first few ounces I expect to be flat and taste "stale" but not to this extreme. The color of the beer is still a perfect hazy yellow/orange and does not taste oxidized at all, just the first pour of the day. Any thoughts??
