Medium to full bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Lightly warming finish, lots of drying pale wood, hay, lemon, mellow funk. Great stuff overall.

Bottle shared at Brewery. Pours hazy gold with a decent white head. Cheesy funk on the nose. Taste is pretty funky. A little cheese and the barrel comes through just taking the edge off leaving an oak dryness on the finish. Good stuff.
