Batch 190 Saison tasting notes

Room temp from cellar

Pours clear yellow gold, titanic white head that eventually drops back (must be contaminated, or a total bust in the primer calcs, or possibly not completely done when bottled)

Aroma big barnyard horseblanket, some malt sweetness, dishrag at back

Mouthfeel a little chunky and sweet

Flavor hop bitterness, big barnyard, some malt bitterness, then hop bitters again

Finishes a little sweet, plenty of hop bitterness

Overall seems not fully fermented out in the carboy, maybe some contamination here.  Watch out for junk in the final transfer (chunks in the bottom).  Hop bitterness is too heavy here.  Needs to be drier and less IBUs.
