hoppy off flavour

[irishrover32]

iv got this aroma in my beer its exactly like the smell of the hop bags when i remove them from the beer after the boil it may be vegetal but its more bitter and spicy if im making sense can anyone inform me why this would be heres the recipe maybe the volume of hops in the boil was too much but i dont think the times and volumes would be enough. also strangely its more apparent in the keg than in a bottle conditioned bottle

since you used 5oz of late addition hops, and then 3 oz of dry hops, is it quite possible that the "hoppy off flavor" that smells like the hops bag might be hops.

The dry-hopping aroma will fade and smooth as it ages. Some sub-aromas will fade away almost completely eventually.

Could the condition of the hops attribute to this aroma? The hops were 2013 and stored in foil bags flushed with nitrogen and frozen???

I'm assuming you used those specific hops because you wanted something from each. Looks like you have Pine, Citrus, Spicy going on there.
