I picked up a six pack from a new local brewery the other day. Yikes. The finish was exactly like Palmer describes astringent off flavors; sucking on a teabag would be preferable, I think. I ended up dumping the bottle I opened and set the others aside for future cooking. But then I got to wondering whether the astringent flavor would carry over should I throw a bottle in chili or something similar. I would think they'd do okay for marinating, but maybe I should just cut my losses. Any thoughts?

I'd take it back, it could/would ruin what you add it to, plus the brewery would appreciate that feedback.
