Any thoughts on this one?
Muntons Flagship Hazy IPA
It was one of my first brews when I returned to brewing, and I thought it was really good, but the last few bottles tasted a bit strange. Possibly the PET bottles? (I was still collecting bottles / kegs/ etc, and ran out of glass bottles).
Anyway, I've put another batch on today - will see how it goes.....
 
I can't quite remember if I've made this kit once or twice but either way I remember it was excellent and so much so I have another one waiting to be brewed.

My take on hoppy beers, such as this, is that they need to be drunk fresh. I put my beer in corny kegs and with this I'll usually start drinking it after 3-4 weeks conditioning and carbonation (or less if the stocks are low!). Over time the hop aroma and flavour tends to diminish which is maybe what you are experiencing.
