I have a batch of berry beer that is just finishing. When I tasted it, I noticed a definite grapefruit taste to it. Since I didn't use any Cascade type hops, I was surprised. Any ideas what would have caused it and will it go away? I used .5oz N Brewer, .5oz Cluster and .5oz Hallertauer as bittering hops (trying to use up what I had) and .5oz Hersbrucker for finishing. The yeast was WhiteLabs California Ale yeast. Thanks for the help. |

You didn't include how you added the raspberries. IMO, it's best to keep fruit away from beer but if I had to add berries then I'd add them to the secondary fermenter within a week of packaging. |

The berries were added in the secondary after being sanitized. |
