The taste improved overtime. We were excited to try our beers. This was kegged after 2 weeks of fermentation and tapped after a week in the keg. There was initially a bite after the drink that went away after 3 weeks of being on tap. It had a head on the beer. Lesson learned from this brew was that the beer is find to drink after a couple of weeks, but the beer will be significantly better if you give it 6-7 weeks.
