In Reply to: Re: Pale Ales vs. ESBs. What's good and why? posted by jj on October 24, 2001 at 19:37:35:
I like a strong bitter beer or ale. There's some taste, though, in the bottled ESBs I've had that turns me off. There is a similar taste in the "Hen's Tooth Ale". I assumed it was the yeast. Maybe it's the hops or a kind of hops. Could be something else. Don't get that taste in the IPA type ales.
Follow Ups:
It could be yeast, it could be contamination (yeast that is), it could be "skunked" which is what you get when UV hits hop extract ...

Not sure. Reminds me slightly of butyric acid. Slightly rancid, I guess. Sour with an unpleasant background.
That's what sunlight damage sounds like. Heat can do it, and so can some kinds of chemicals that are allowed to get into beer before it's canned. Overcanning will do it too.
