I've been wanting to try a beer from Purgatory, a friend brought over a 4 pack of their DIPA named Dirty Swan. Pours an attractive glassful but has a really off aroma, kind of a chemical smell and the aroma of unfinished wort.

The aroma follows through to the taste of the beer, absolutely undrinkable. I'm glad it wasn't me who spent the $16 on a four pack because the entire 4 pack was poured down the drain.

I really wanted to like this brewery being that it's local but if this is representative of the product that they're putting out then I don't want it. Fact is, someone had to say this beer was okay to package and sell and that speaks volumes for me. Now I understand why over a year since its inception there's hardly any reviews of the beers. Sorry Purgatory but you have to do better than this.
