650mL bottle, pours a clear golden yellow with a medium white head. Nose is quite nasty, featuring body odours from a sports locker, skunky herbal hops, and lots of rotting vegetables - what the hell? Flavour is even worse, with rotten decomposing vegetables, some pine but not in a pleasant piney IPA-way, more like decomposing tree leaves, and decaying leaves after they've been rained on for days / weeks. This is absolutely revolting. What the hell was this supposed to be? A joke? Offensive and undrinkable - have to pour the rest (95% of the bottle) down the drain. Deplorable.

Bottle from Brewery Creek, Vancouver
Hazy golden color with small head. Peculiar aroma, strong, wet hay; light rosemary too. Lean mouthfeel, with some cereals, grass, hay, and mild spruce; very low bitterness.
Weird; not a beer; not revolting either; but I would prefer if they focused on brewing good beer instead of experimenting like this.
