Sour/musty tasting mead

My son and I tried our hand at mead for the first time... I didn't notice a lot of bubbling I thought that it wasn't fermenting correctly but my son thought differently, he's 17. Lol

But when we went to bottle it after the normal 2-week. We tasted it and it tasted sour kind of musty It wasn't a good flavor.

Does anybody possibly know what we could have done wrong?

Thank you.

On a side note he decided to try to make ginger beer and I felt that the ginger beer had a similar taste to it not as strong as the mead but still it was there.

Could it be the tub that we're using?

Thanks ahead for the help

In my experience, there might be some yeast still floating around in it. Try sealing it for a while and letting it age. This has always helped mellow out the flavor and then rack out the yeast.
