I made a pumpkin ale in early October and its been in the bottle for 2 weeks exactly
I had started trying and even sharing them after a week in bottle. I thoroughly enjoyed the first one, my dad had the next one and he swore he wasn't going to like it being a BMC drinker and he loved it and promptly requested more, his friend that enjoys craft beer had one and suggested it was good enough for a competition and I had one as recent as yesterday and was very happy.
However, I had one today and it seemed to have a sour taste. Still drinkable but definitely not on par with the other ones. The infection alarms went off in my head.
Could the glass do it? It's a pint size glass that has never truly represented beers to their potential.
Also I thought I possibly didn't clean/sanitize that one bottle thoroughly enough.
Lastly,(and probably most likely) I had just eaten as bad example of ravioli that was terrible and maybe this messed my palate up.
I'll try one tomorrow and report back
