Hi,
I brewed a kit from More Beer, "American Ale", sort of a Sam Adams type beer in theory. Everything seemed to go fine, and I waited it out - has been in bottles for 3 weeks and I gave it a try last night. Well carbonated, and has the right initial taste but there is a strong lingering aftertaste that I'm having a hard time defining and I wonder if it is what everyone means by "green". To me it tastes just a bit like tonic water. Does anyone know what I mean? The beer is drinkable, just kinda hope this odd taste fades after more time. I fermented for 2 weeks, at about 75 deg. F.
Thanks,
Rob
