I don't know about what oxidation does to beer but in mead I've heard it described as a wet cardboard taste. If your in-law likes it then it's probably fine. Some folks just don't have a taste for certain drinks, my wife is repulsed by my IPAs but I love them. Have you tried a bottle yet ? give it a taste and tell us what you think. If you don't like it just give it to your old lady's pappy.
