First sip is 50 shades of that funky yeast. I just looked at the label, and it doesn't say what the yeast is, but it says that this is supposed to be a "balance of spicy malt, hops, and yeast," yet I'm only picking up the yeast. It is, to say it nicely, overwhelming. I can taste the citrus hops, but they are barely overcoming the yeast. A swig might help all this.
Tip-in is moderate carbonation burn and a tart yeast with the spices in the malt that the label told me to expect. While it has spices, it also manages to be a bit doughy. The middle is more funky yeast, but it is joined by the citrus hops. The effect of the combination of the two is like a grapefruit juice with carbonation. The finish is spices and tartness. Trail off is the funky yeast that I'm going to flat-out declare MUST be bret.
Bottom Line: Not as tame as your average farmhouse ale, this is tart and flavorful. Not bad, but a little acidic.
