they say oxidation tastes like wet cardboard and an infection tastes like vinegar.

Depending on the malt you used and the beer style you are making, woody can be a postive attribute. Some malts are made to impart a character that some would describe as woody. What are the malts used in thes beer(s) in question? Oxidized beer as mentioned has a cardboard or papery character. When it is extremely oxidized, it has the taste of a sherry or port wine.

I've noticed that some hops can do this as well. I've done some batches that use bittering hops (nugget) for
flavor and aroma additions and it gives me a woody taste. Oxidation usually takes months to surface.
