RepuBrew CAMPai Hazy : Appearance, Aroma, and Taste

The beer poured out a hazy golden honey colour, with a finger of white head. Disappointingly, the head collapsed on itself fairly quickly, though it did leave some streaks down the edge.

Unfortunately, the aroma was weird. It had a phenolic peach edge to it, with some weird yeast funk going on. Furthermore, as the beer warmed up, there was noticeable plastic aroma coming off it. I did check the bottom of the can and it was well within the drink by date. Furthermore, it had only been canned less than a month ago so something had gone wrong here.

Without wanting to waste the beer, I did drink a fair amount. Yet, those same peculiar off-flavours were evident in the body. Peach and plastic, with none of the promised coconut and woodiness as mentioned on website. In spite of this, I did let it warm up some more, but alas, if anything, it made it worse.
