Label looks cheap and crappy complete with screw cap this is just scream quality beer. Poured a pure gold with large white fluffy crown looks ok for the style. The second I unscrewed the cap the souls of 500 rotten potatoes escaped leaving me to wonder if I she even bother drinking this. Strange most of the horrid stink has left once I poured it, now it just smells average with mild skunk, some apple, and dusty barn. Taste starts off dark and mildly bitter but quickly turns metallic. The flavor is mild but intense, that makes no sense. I’m tasting a lot of rye bread and grass, the hop flavor is slightly watermelony. And now that the beer is warm I swear I’m getting a mint after taste. I’m very prejudice against this style I just don’t like it and never get any joy out of drinking it.

Poured out a clear, deep gold brew with 2cm of foamy head but small retention and little lacing. Taste quality fades as it warms so take it colder. Nice soft smell with grains and grass - all which seems muted somehow. Taste is of yum grains, soft but persistant malt and some grass. Medium bodied almost seems heavier. Nice mild bitterness on the finish. I'll get more, me thinks but I'll drink them right out of the fridge or shortly after.
