This started off as an ok review and quickly went south.

I literally noted that this was a gorgeous beer after pouring it from the bottle. There was a thick and rich 2 finger head that had so much structure it was unreal. It started to settle and stick to the side of the glass and you could tell the lacing was going to be extensive.
The beer was a light amber/gold with orange highlights. There was plenty of visible carbonation.

The aroma was what I would expect with a clear wheat aroma that was grainy/grassy and some honey notes. Nice.

Then I tasted the beer. WOW, Metallic flavor. I mean very metallic. Tastes like my finger was bleeding and I stuck it in my mouth. Doesn't really taste spoiled, just tastes terrible.

Mouthfeel - horrible.

Drinkability - None drain pour.

Sorry, not good
