Cold
Pours deep amber orange, light tan head that's not too big, coarse, but persists to the bottom, minimal lacing. Fairly clear, but starch haze apparent.
Aroma bright with earthy hops, soapy bitterness, sweet malt way underneath that is nutty.
Mouthfeel bright from carbonation, cloyingly clingy, but still a light-moderate body.
Flavor too much of some sort of bitterness, malt?, yeast seems soapy/off, malt bitterness not pleasant or well balanced, too sweet as it warms.
Overall, this is much more like a nut brown than a lager. Is W2633 gone bad? Could be the hops. Not so different from Sam Smith nut brown, maybe go with english hops in roughly similar amounts, malt bill is close, reduce carbonation, lagering the cara120 is the key.
