I tried this beer one week after bottling and it tasted like ass. I was pissed and thought I had done something very wrong. I tried it tonight after 3 weeks and it is wonderful and still not fully mature. Thought I would share.
Great Beer

That's why you often hear someone say that the last pour from the keg tasted the best. Even beer meant to be served fresh will benefit from a bit of conditioning.

This rings so true. Made my first, super hoppy NEIPA awhile back, and it's been in the keg for exactly 20 days now and it couldn't be farther from the grassy/raw first pour i had. It's peak carbonation, aroma, and flavor is off the charts. If this doesn't get any better from here on out i'd still be extremely happy with it. 3 weeks in the keg is magic pour hour as far as i'm concerned. Glad yours "turned around" as well !!
