So I put down a kits 'n bits IPA about a month ago, and it has been sitting in secondary for about 2 weeks.
Being very adventurous, I thought I would give it a sip to see how it tasted...
(Some background info: yesterday, at university we had a sensory evaluation class, and it was all about fortified wines, the first set of wines were sherry's)
To my disgust, the beer tasted similar to some of the sherry we tried in class...it was completely aldehydic and utterly foul...I could smell the bruised apples as soon as I poured it. The taste was similar.
The culprit you ask? A lid which wasn't screwed on tight.
It's sewerage now.
Edit: Forgive the typo in the title. ACETALDEHYDE
