re: Had an Envie for the first time in a while...

Sent Parish an email and got this back:

First of all, thank you very much for buying our beer. As a small company, we depend on and value your business. Also thanks for the feedback, we really want your experience with our beer to be perfect. Investigating your complaint, we just pulled a few bottles from the 12/13 batch and I can assure you the batch of beer does not have any metallic off flavors and in fact tastes delicious to the 3 brewers here who I just blind sampled. We have occasionally experienced a metallic taste on the rim of the bottle from the caps if they corrode from sitting in water or getting too wet for too long - for example beer bottles left in an ice chest with melted ice for a few days will have this. Do you think the caps were corroded excessively or did you observe any on the edges of the cap? If there is a concern about corroded caps, pouring the beer into a glass could definitely tell you if the issue is a residual metallic taste on the rim of the glass bottle or not. If you have time to do so, please pour into a glass, taste, and let me know! Cheers!

Bought the beer at Oak Point Central and it was on the shelf and not in a cooler. I haven't tried pouring one in a glass yet. Since I'm not the only one here that's experienced the problem, I don't think it's as simple as Andrew indicated. Whatever, I'll try something again in the future and if it sucks I'll bring it back to the store.
