Brewed a Partial Mash IPA consisting of mostly LME\20row\DME with a pound of Cara60. Used WLP001 and lots of hops (cascade, columbus, centennial) throughout the boil and a 10 days dry hop.
Bottle carbed and and after 2 weeks in the bottle had great carbonation and WOW it was good. After only 2 weeks bottled, the hop aroma was intense and the flavor was dead on.
Now after 3 weeks in the bottles the beer is tasting much different. The pronounced hop aroma and flavor is gone. It tastes kindof like a bitter cleaning chemical. It's not as horrid as it seems but that's the best i can do to describe the off flavor that's developed in the beer.
The beer is still drinkable but no where near as good as it was a week or 2 ago. One mistake i believe i made was stirring\whipping the beer when i added the priming sugar but not sure if that's what did it. Followed pretty strict sanitation procedures as well.
