No, not taste. Just smell.
At first, I'd assumed that I'd gotten some kind of wild yeast into the wort for fermentation. Cool, if unrepeatable.
But, nope. Doesn't taste sour in the slightest. In fact, if anything it tastes too bloody sweet. Which is weird in it's own right, as the wort that went into the fermenter was extremely bitter.
I netted 27 bombers, and I'm going to let them carb and try it, as the flat beer isn't necessarily bad, even if it's not going to win any awards. But I'm way curious now! The only thing that I can think of that I changed was the extract addition, which went in at flameout. I'm thinking that that may have been a mistake, in hindsight. It would explain the very sweet taste and after-smell, at least.
Anyway, this will probably be my last batch of extract, so I suppose it's moot, but one never knows.
Cheers!
