Infected Beer? Any way to know?

[g1976b]

I'm worried I may have my first infected beer. Is there any way to know for sure?

I essentially made a batch of the Thunderstruck Pumpkin Ale. Everything went fine, and after giving it enough time in the secondary carboy, I cold crashed it, then moved it into the keg today.

It smelled great, and hasn't had any strange looking patches or bubbles anywhere. After getting it into the keg, I wanted to try some. There wasn't much left in the auto siphon, but I tasted a small bit. Smell was great but the taste was sour. I thought maybe it had been in contact with some leftover foam from the star san, so I poured a bit directly out of the carboy into a glass. Same thing....great smell, sour taste.

Any ideas? Will it mellow? Is it infected?

Judging by what I've read on here, just give it time and if still no good, then give it more time!

Run it through the entire process through bottle conditioning for a month, then see...
