Nøgne Ø Funky Geyser is what many have called an infected monster that has been taken over by brettanomyces. It originally was a batch of Bitter that got infected with brett somehow and this geyser has high carbon dioxide levels. The color was very light straw yellow and the head was huge and kept on growing. Aroma was very funky indeed, lots of farm animals and sour notes of lemon zest.
It was little to no sweetness, just sour and bone dry to taste with flavors of sour apples but then it got very bitter and dry in the end. Very tart with lemon sourness, a great beer for cleansing the palette. I was lucky enough to try this beer at the brewery when it was labelled as a Bitter and the batch that needed to be removed from the Vinmonopolet. Kjetil was very excited about this infected beer and was curious to see what I made of it.
To summarize it was nice to try this beer, I actually liked the funky aroma a lot but as sour beers are not my cup of tea, I was not gone on the taste.
