I was the only person of four or five who hated this outright. I'll admit it was an aged sample, but judging by crowd reaction, I would've always had disdain for this, as likely as everyone else I was with may have liked it even more when it was fresh.

A - Cloudy orange-ish with decent off-white head; looks like DIPA

S - Golden shower. Ewww. Why does everyone else in this room like this? What kind of alternative lifestyles are these people living?

T - Cidery, grassy, cabbage-y and onion-y, with strange honey sweetness.

M - Nothing terribly wrong with the mouthfeel, except for the taste it imparts.

D - This must be what people think when they have a negative reaction to GUBNA. I am in the minority tonight in my aversion to this brew; ironically, I am also the one who gets excited about the Imperial Pilsner style. Huh.
