Beer tastes like soil

[delzep]

Tapped an IPA a couple of weeks ago and while its not the best (too bitter), its ok but in the past week it has developed a flavour I can only describe as tasting like soil/dirt. The beer smells fine (nice and hoppy) but its as if I'm using a dyson hoover as a randall when it comes to flavour. Anyone know what this could be?

[johnrm]

Recipe, ingredients, process?
How were ingredients stored?
Bottle or keg?
Is issue consistent across bottles or through keg?
How are these being stored/sanitised before filling?

[imark]

Don't really understand what you mean by dirt. Astringency? Tannins maybe?

[auralabuse]

Has the beer remained clear?

[DEMPSEY]

Are the hop varieties common or are you using a new type not used before.

[Leann ull]

Can be caused by a particular mould if your gear is stored in a damp cellar etc but more likely

Did you put fuggles in it?

[DEMPSEY]

Looking at the chart CH put up I can see your problem. Where it states "How can it avoided/controlled" answer is QUIETLY transfer of wort/beer when siphoning or transferring. What God awful music where you listening to that your beer could hear as well

[delzep]

Its a double ipa in a keg. I did clean the tap after I tapped it as I did spot some gunk on the tap. Maybe I just didn't rinse the tap enough Can always clean it again I suppose.

Now where is that domestos

Moral: Always clean your pipes after use

Ooh beer pipes

[delzep]

Tried a different tap and the beer was ok so its the tap which I was never really happy with in the first place to be honest (its one of those celli knock-offs). I'm now in the market for a replacement, so wheres the best place to buy a good quality one?
