Nice off white fluffy head.
Smells slightly musty tho a bit of malt and caramel.
And the malt and caramel comes thru after an initial wateriness-
I don't mind the slightly rich malt and caramel note- it's quite pleasant. It's quite sweet but I don't mind that tho that might put some people off. A little bite on the tip of the tongue at the end.
The musty funkiness that I associate with this style is minimal.
So yeah I'm not to keen on this style but the sweetness pulls me in, the balance is semi as the hops don't really cut thru much. I give it 6/10.
