Deusa Diana

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 25C, adapted). Botte 33 cl - Batch D215. AROMA: aroma dominated by what seems to be wild yeast / bacteria contamination with leathery and some barnyard notes. some faint malty aroma on the background. APPEARANCE: ambar color with a lot of material in suspension. large ivory head with average retention and some lacing. excessive carbonation. TASTE: initial wild yeast / bacteria notes (barnyard) but less intense than the aroma. overall sweet bland flavour without particular characteristics. solventy alcohol flavour. medium-low bitterness with an almost dry finish. PALATE: light body with excessive carbonation. some solventy alcohol character. dry and almost astringent finish. OVERALL: a beer labeled as "strong ale" and "pale ale", with 9.5% ABV (recipe changed?) with obvious contamination.
