Brewed a Cali common a few weeks ago. Tried one after a week and a half. It was amazing. Fully carbed. Clean tasting with a lot of hop flavor and aroma. It was so perfect I put a few more in the fridge.
Next ones were not so great. It's a flavor a lot of my lighter beers get. I don't know how do describe the flavor. I'll toss a few more in the fridge and really try to nail it down for you. The strangest thing for me is the complete lack of all hop flavor and smell. Anyone could pick out the liberty hops in the first one i tried.
I only have one thought on why this could happen. I believe this is the beer I started to bottle. Maybe one or two. Then thought I should give it a small very slow stir. Then bottled the rest. Then the first one just happened to be one that got into the fridge.
I know most say oxidation is wet card board and I wouldn't say that's it but can even slight levels ruin a beer?
