I have used a yeast I got from a local brewery last year (their 007 a few gens old) and I've used it a number of times making larger starters and keeping a pint to use on other beers. The batch I grabbed from this time was a fresh starter using one of the gens I had from a month or so ago.
I've got a semi alcohol taste that doesn't have any heat like fusels do but at 7%, I doubt it's from the alcohol amount.
I think it will be drinkable at colder temps and I will be adding coconut in the keg after it carbs a bit (I decided to naturally carb the keg).
So, can older yeast that might have gone past 5 or so generations cause an off flavor like alcohol?
