So I brewed a blonde ale a while back and after bottling it had a strong creamed corn/vegatal taste to it, I did not sample it before I bottled. But it seems this off flavor has mostly dissappeared after being in the bottle for six weeks or so? Any idea where I went wrong and how it fixed itself? this was my second time brewing this same recipe and the first time it was amazing and its good now but I don't have any of the first batch to compare it to. Also is it safe to say that all the bottles have righted themselves from the off flavor I have drank about six or so since I found it to be relatively fixed?
 
Without more oinformation it is hard to say why the difference.

I would suggest that if it tastes good now...and you have drank some and like it....drink the rest! :ban:

brew it again and keep very DETAILED notes......

I am sure some others will have better advice....
 
Please post the recipe. If you used pilsner malt I would imagine DMS is the culprit.
 
Also, quickly cooling the wort helps reduce DMS in the finished beer. Was your cooling time over 15-20 minutes?
