Strange. My first thought is a cellulose-producing bacteria, such as acetobacter. This would usually come with some tartness, though. Do you notice any? If that is the case, besides vinegar taste, there should be no ill effects. That looks similar to cellulose you'd see in something like a kombucha SCOBY.

My guess is that there is definitely an association with the type of extract used. I bought about 20kg of extra pale no brand spray malt for brewing with speciality grain. Every batch had a slight astringent note and more ester than I expected. I tried everything (better temp control, different yeast.....). The off taste only went away when I returned to ...
