Beer is good but I think I have some bite at the finish. What is a carbonic bite and when does it occur?

For me, a good example of carbonic bite can be had drinking 7up. They carbonate the crap out of it to make is bite. Hope this helps, Castermmt

Or better, something carbonated with no flavour like soda water. It's sort of metallic in flavour, like chewing on a penny or bottle cap (not that you'd do that).

Happens if you overcarb your beer, though different beers are better at different levels of carbonation. You want a Wit (for example) to be highly carb'ed as that slight bite probably goes well with the peppery, spicy phenols. But you wouldn't want most British style ales to be carbed very high.

What are you drinking and to what volumes of Co2 was it carb'ed?
