Nothing special - PA with some Calypso which I don't use often.  After tasting it several times over a month or so I decided to put it in queue to be dumped and cleaned.   Today was time to move some kegs around and I decided to take the second keg (10 gal brew) out for the same dump and clean.  Decided to taste it.  Not dumping.

 

Really strange.  The first keg was not contaminated/infected.  Funky hops can't be it either.  I don't get it.  Glad I tasted it - not one of my best efforts but easily a good enough to say I brewed it

maybe keg 1 got some oxidation? different storage temp?

It's funny how some beers improve and others go downhill. There are times when I taste a beer and I just know it's no good but I set it aside and try it later and it's either "Hey, much better" or even a "Holy Cow!". Glad you kept it.
