Just kegged a batch of an ESB fermented with WLP023. It is a regular brew of mine, but first time using this yeast. It's turned out to have a slight sour aftertaste (sides of the tounge).
Is this a trait of this yeast or an infection?
Another brewer took a sample of the yeast (I split vials four ways and store each under cool boiled water), and his brew had a similar taste.
So, either that's how the yeast performs, or I've gotten a bad vial or infection during transfer.
Anyone else had experience with WLP023 care to share?
Cheers,
Matt
