Did you know that beer can sometimes have an unpleasant taste due to specific chemical compounds?
The term “skunky” was given by Dr. Malcolm D. Forbes , professor of chemistry at the University of North Carolina after claiming that it’s almost identical to the compound found in a skunk’s notorious anal glands.
But why does beer get “skunky”? It’s not because of temperature, like many people believe, but because of light exposure.
Got anything to add?
