Sink IPA

This beer is the result of an empty pipeline, a day off, and a bunch of hops in relatively small quantities that needed to be used. 

Still pretty cloudy, despite being in a cold keg for six days. But this beer has 4.5 ounces of hops that are still in the keg, so it might take awhile to clear up.

I overshot my volume by about half a gallon, so this beer is lighter than intended, and not all of the finished beer would fit into the keg, so I bottled two bottles. They taste substantially different. Very little hop flavor. Why might that be? Old hops? I never once opened the better bottle between brew day and keg day, but could there be oxidation somehow? Infection? (This better bottle sat in a water-bleach solution for a week prior to brewing). 

Thankfully the dry hops save the beer, which is clean, fruity, dry, and a touch dank. I might perceive the slightest off flavor, but it's hard to say if that's from a hop I don't recognize or yeast. I don't pick up the same flavor in the bottled version.
