hi..i have a very strange flavor in my beer...it is a double ipa but from the aroma i get a very strong yeast aroma and the foam is not disappear even after half hour on the glass...could be an infection? isn't there's no bacteria can survive in a beer with an IBU more than 25? last time i have a gushing beer also but from what i know gushing is caused by infection..how this could happen?

That's not true - wild yeast, bacteria and other contaminants can definitely do their work in beer with 25 IBU or more.
Hi and welcome to the forum!
3 likely causes for your problem spring to mind
1: Infection (lots of bacteria and yeasts can live in and metabolism the sugars on other yeast byproducts in beer)
2: Bottling prior to the completion of fermentation will result in over carbonated beer and/or gushing beer. A lot of yeast in suspension so I guess "yeasty flavor" would be present. i don't know.
3: Adding too much priming sugar at bottling will result in over-carbonation gushers/bottle-bombs.
Your off flavor cold be a result of a myriad of things before during or after the boil or during fermentation. Hard to say with the little info. No help there I'm afraid

Pouring all the dregs from the bottle into your glass will give a yeasty aroma.
