Cellar temp
Massive fine white head that hangs around, nice clear golden color
Aroma soapy, big sweet estery aroma/malt mix, hard to smell line between malt and yeast. Slight tart fruit.
Mouthfeel, moderate body that cleans up rapidly, no cloy or coating.
Flavor, stone fruit up front followed quickly by earthy/soapy hop bitterness. Malt flavors largely overpowered.
Finish is somewhat unpleasant, some kind of bitterness that isn't beery, more like dirt. Otherwise clean.
Overall, yeast seems contaminated with something, otherwise quality beer. Too much IBUs and not enought malt flavor, probably because yeast is not as dominant as it might be without contamination.
