I recently brewed an AG smash with Munich malt and only 1 oz of cascade hops for bittering (5gal). Brewed with Safale s04. 3 weeks after being bottled, it's dominant flavor is apple. It's a good apple like hard cider but I'm not sure if I made an error in my technique resulting in acetaldehyde or if it's just the nature of this beer. Everything seems on point but I'm not sure if apple flavor is desirable or expected in this kind of beer. I should note that it is a good tasting beer. I'm just not sure if apple was supposed to be the result. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
