Passed the fussel test but still an off oder/flavor.

I had a quart of product left that had a hint of heads in it so I let it air for several days. Smell improved with only a very slight, and I mean slight, scent. I diluted to ~40% and put in a clean glass and swirled it around, the off scent came back a bit. The product doesn't taste horrific but isn't the cleanest flavored stuff either. I coated the inside of the glass good and dumped out the rest, set the glass aside, and checked it this morning. I can't detect any of the odor. Just a clean glass, I can't even see a oily residue in strong light.

Anybody have some thoughts on this?

That sweetness is most likely due to a less than perfect heads cut that allowed some early heads into your hearts...

The art of cuts.
It is indeed an art. And it takes practice, lots of practice.
