And to me, while, "diesel" is an acceptable flavor profile, 'wet gym socks' and especially, 'cat pee' are most certainly NOT what I'm looking for in a dank brew...or any brew for that matter....
Fortunately dank beers randomly find me. And they're from many places. When I go to visit my 3 nieces in Vancouver & Portland, I'll bone up on some piney dank NW IPAs for sure!
Yep. There are some dank notes that are off-putting for lack of a better term. Onion is one I find nasty. Old vegetable aroma is not my friend.
Did you ever have Oskar Blues Gub'ner? Tasted like you tried to cook ramps by putting them in your armpit and running a 5k in August.
Weed. Plus some more weed. And then a little more weed for good measure. Plus maybe an onion-like note. This is the first beer that I had (a LOOOOOONG time ago) that directly referenced weed and DANK. That's been my definition of dank since then. https://darkhorsebrewery.com/beer/smells-like-a-safety-meeting/ Saga from Summit back in the day was another beer I considered "dank."
Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!.......as far as the weed comments...not so much in agreement about the Saga from Summit being dank......
