Worst I've ever had. I don't know if it's contaminated, infected, etc. In fact, for their sake I hope it was such a mild 'oversight'. Vinegary, nose-crinching sour smell. Says it pours a clear straw color with kolsch yeast. Very cloudy with lots of white, sesame sized sediment. Soapy taste, and a drainpour. The bottle was dated best buy Nov. '14. Never again with this one.

Described on the #Freedom website as a mild ale made with Glacier hops and naturally fermented, it is supposed to be a crystal clear, crisp beer.
Appearance: thin white head on top of a cloudy, pale yellow body. I carefully poured the beer, knowing it was not filtered, but it was still cloudy.
Smell: Initial aroma was vinegary, followed by an unpleasant yeasty smell.
Taste: One sip was enough. There is a soapy unpleasant taste. Tried a second sip to see if the beer improved with some "breathing" but it was not drinkable.
Mouthfeel: I gave it a 3.0 because there seems to be some body, but little carbonation.
Overall: I could not drink this beer. Perhaps something went wrong during bottling, but this was an immediate drainpour. I hope the quality of their other beers is better, considering I bought a few bottles. Based on this variety, I am not optimistic.
