SNPA metallic flavor

[Sean]

Has anyone else gotten a distinctive metallic flavor from Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

Not all the time just sometimes.

Did you take the cap off first?

Sorry man, drink it fairly frequently and haven't experienced this.

I occasionally get this from various beers (but not all the time)...I wish I knew what caused it. I'm wondering if it could be the result of eating a particular food and then drinking a beer?

I get a soapy flavor in SNPA sometimes, sometimes no, I think it is whatever hops they use and what I may have eaten or am eating at the time.

I have two friends that are especially sensitive to SNPA and one will describe bad examples as metallic and the other as dishsoapy. The metallic flavor I generally taste at places that don't seem to move much SNPA. Dishsoapy I always figured was my other buddy's interp of the hops....especially with fresher examples.

I had a 4 pack of Corsendonk recently and every one of them tasted like that. I am convinced it is somehow the caps because the taste that I have always encountered in terms of metallic has been like steel. I have tasted it other commercial brews as well, but it always seems random. I think certain foods might bring it to the foreground though. The other thing I noticed is the head seems to serve as a vehicle for it as well.

A couple of times I've have fish make wine taste metallic, haven't noticed it with beer though.

That's just the mercury

Peronally, I think it has to do with their caps. I drank some Red Hook IPA the other night, and tasted metallic cap immediately.

OK, I figured this out. I had a bottle of their IPA. I took a swig from the bottle and metallic taste. I poured it in a glass, no problems. It's the caps. I took another swig to test it out, and sure enough metallic taste. Make sure you drink them from a glass.

good info. I too have noticed a metallic taste to SNPA, and hardly ever drink it anymore. It's been hit or miss, but sometimes I put it in a pint glass, and sometimes I dont. i'll make sure to always throw it in a glass.

I noted to myself the other day that after taking up homebrewing I now use a glass for my store bought beers. I never did that prior to making my own.
