First Pour - Blue Patriot

This is the first brew I was tempted to dump after tasting.  Didn't notice anything out of the ordinary while bottling, but it sure didn't age well.  It is much darker than it should be, and is so hazy, I can't see though it.  It has an unexpected element to the aroma, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is.  The taste is very bitter and has a almost burnt flavor to it.  I'm thinking I scorched the DME during the boil.  I'm also thinking there is a bit of oxidation going on, due to the air that was in the pureed fruit when I added it to the fermentor.  Need to figure out how to get rid of the air from the fruit next time I make a fruit beer.  I'll try another bottle or two before I decide, but this one may be going down the drain.

Update on 2013/12/30: Beer is getting better with age, the bitterness from the scorched DME is fading.  It's now drinkable, certainly not my best, but good enough not to dump down the drain.  Perhaps with more time it will improve further.
