Pours a nice darker gold colour with a thick head on top. Slightly sweet and malty on the nose. The taste adds hoppiness and bitterness and keeps the sweetness. Mouthfeel is smooth and full bodied

Slightly hazy dark straw color. Poured a medium head that broke down into a mix of bubble sizes and dropped down to a skiff after 3 or 4 minutes. Left large patches of lacing on the side of the glass. Low rate of mixed size bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass.

Hop smell with a touch of barnyard. Light funky yeast scent shows up. Very light malt. Swirling the glass kicked up mostly the barnyard.

The flavor starts off with a medium bitter barnyard, not a very pleasant blend. After it warms in the mouth some light malt shows up to cover up some of the barnyard, but there is also a very light metallic flavor that shows up. The barnyard fights back to dominance in the aftertaste, in case you forgot about it.

Nice foaming action with a little tongue tingle. The foam goes right to a medium sized bubble, so never feels creamy. Medium body.

The excessive barnyard turned me off. This is a regression to last year when everybody seemed to have been infected by brett. I can hardly taste anything but barnyard. The scent promised something more, but it wasn't delivered.
