Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (syle 12C). Bottle 33 cl - Batch unknown (BBF unknown). AROMA: medium wild fermentation aroma (horsey, leather, sweat), with a slight wine barrel background (tropical-like). low oxidation notes (malt and hopes). APPEARANCE: light ambar color and clear. medium ivory head with medium retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with medium wild fermentation (barnyard), medium-low fruity notes (from wild fermentation, orange-like). slight barrel background. medium-high bitterness with a dry and bitter finish. unbalanced. PALATE: medium-light body with medium carbonation. bitterness derived astringency. OVERALL: an IPA with wild fermentation notes. Only the comercial description on the label says it was maturated on wine barrels, and not the main label so it was scored accordingly (IPA).

TASTE: initial medium-low malt flavor with a sweet grainy character, low fruitiness and furfural. slight yeast presence. medium-low bitterness with a very dry finish. PALATE: medium body with excessive carbonation. mild astringency from tannins. OVERALL: the label does not specify the type of lager, resembling a more malty pale lager with execution and some fermentation problems.
