I wonder if anyone else runs into this or is there something i'm doing wrong?
Typically when I keg "lighter" beers. i.e. Cream Ale, Pale Ale, Blonde Ale, over time the taste becomes much stronger and further away from the style.
P.S. I brew extract.
After carb'ing up, the first 20-30 days on tap it tastes as it should, light suttle hints of the bitterness and grain. After that, the taste gets stronger, the bitterness increases, the beer also gets much clearer and slightly darker.
Think color going from Budweiser to Sam Adams Lager. (commercial example)
I'm not going to say its bad tasting, just different. And this only seems to happen with the kegged beer, bottles stay true.
My Dark beers this doesnt happen (or its just overpowered by all the other flavors)
Can anybody explain this?
