You can't taste the gas, and at 32 you can't taste the beer either. When your beer is 38 degrees, it has the flavors intended by the brewer. The colder you get, the more of that flavor is masked, so it probably tasted funny to you because the flavors you had been experiencing at 38 were gone.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.
Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."
