@Kealia and anyone - Oxygenated Citra Mosiac Pale Ale

[mashani]

I bottled the Citra/Mosiac Pale. Due to huge amount of trub that clogged my spigot, and an epic auto siphon failure, it got the snot oxygenated out of it.

So now I have to drink most of it fast I think... but perhaps I will keep one or two bottles around for 6 months to a year in the name of science. Because I've never oxygenated a beer post fermentation this bad before.

I hope you start a thread for that when you start drinking them - especially the ones after a few months. I've had issues with my auto-siphon and have given away a lot of beer from those batches for fear of it going bad quickly. I'd love to hear some practical feedback on how much it actually hurt.

So ok, here is thread, and I popped my first bottle of this just now - it is just a few days shy or 4 weeks in the bottle.

I don't taste anything I perceive as wrong or off about it right now. Being what it is, it would set off some peoples "cat pee" detectors for sure, but it basically tastes like a dryer and more bitter seeming version of Fresh Squeezed even though it's entirely late hopped - most likely since it has a lower OG and a less sweet type of crystal malt.

I'll try another in a week or so. But right now it's pretty tasty.

Nice. I don't know how long it takes off flavors to develop from oxygenating beer but I would hope it wouldn't be 4 weeks.
In any case, glad it tastes good and I hope to read that future bottles are the same.

I will try to keep some around for 4 and 6 months just to see what happens. Unless they start to go really downhill sooner then that. I figured one right now would give me a good "baseline".
