beer off flavorsUh oh !! Not exactly beer you got there? Diagnose your off flavors and remedy that BAD taste!

Oxidation / Stale
Description: Your beer smells like a skunk! Not acceptable in any style, even though some people want you to believe that skunkiness is appropriate in imported, green-bottled beer. Ahh no.

Cause: Reaction between UV light and hop compounds.

Remedy: Be sure to bottle your beer in brown glass bottles only as green or clear glass do not effectively filter out the UV rays.
