Is there a website I can visit that will describe where different off-flavors come from? For instance, if the beer tastes malty, fruity, or bitter, where can I go to determine why?

How To Brew by John Palmer contains a good summary of common off flavours:

Went through that list looking for inaccuracies. Only found one: "In beers which use pre-isomerized hop extract and very little flavoring hop additions, the beer will be fairly immune to damage from ultraviolet light." --- Uh, it's REDUCED hop extracts, not just pre-isomerized, that are resistent to photodegradation.

I'm writing various articles about this on my blog. Not as many posted yet as I'd like, but I also have a life and a job to attend to. Look up the "Fishbone" diagram on my site for lots of good information about sources of quality issues in beer.
