This beer has turned out basically horrible, with a very noticeable medicinal sort of aftertaste. The taste seems consistent with having left a lot of cleanser / steriliser in the FV, or something. It gets worse the lower the temperature is.
So this afternoon, I was watching the rugby and drinking this beer by keeping my tongue up against the roof of my mouth and trying not to breathe until it had all gone down the hatch.
Very annoying, It does not taste like the sort of thing that is going to get any better with time, either.
Possible factors - it was the last of 9 re-cycled yeast bottles of US 05 from a brew racked in mid-August? Still just tastes of cleaning fluid, though.
