A home-brewer came in yesterday and had me try one of his beers and try to identify some of the many off-flavors. It was a bock using WL 833. The two prominent flavors were ethel acetate and phenols, but after letting it sit out a few minutes the unmistakable aroma of fish came out. It was just like a can of freshly opened tuna. I know where the phenol and acetate came from, but I have never tasted or smelled fish in a beer. Any ideas?
