I don't know if this is relevant but my tastebuds sometimes report some off-the-map results when I'm drinking beer and maybe I'm sick or I ate something unusual, went from one beer to another, etc. Any chance it was a temporary thing? I'll say this... a couple weekends ago I tapped some very clean, very crisp Czech Pils and had two glasses of it. Not wanting to have anymore (I wanted to let it lager longer), I started drinking MLPA. That was the most estery & fruity glass of MLPA ever in the history of the world. That keg of MLPA is now gone and all the time I was drinking it, I was all, Damn, this is really good & crisp MLPA... really nice batch but that couple of glasses after the Czech Pils was REALLY different. Just a thought.
whole lot of this
