Anyone else get the barnyard flatulence?

Re: Barnyard
Ok, I'll bite, what the hell are you talking about? Is "Barnyard Flatulence" a particularly virulent strain?

Re: Barnyard
Hah, I was hoping someone from Sunday's BJCP class would chime in before everyone thinks I'm a nutcase.
We were studying Sour Ales; see http://www.bjcp.org/2008styles/style17.php If you look at the description of Straight Lambic, 17D, it describes some the aroma "... as barnyard, earthy, goaty, hay, horsey, and horse blanket."

Re: Barnyard
Oh, so are you saying that after consuming straight lambic your "emissions" have a somewhat barnyard aroma or did you just get hold of a bad bagel over the weekend?

Re: Barnyard
There was definitely some residual barnyard aroma.

Re: Barnyard
The aroma we were thinking we were smelling is called "enteric." It's not a desirable aroma, but at low levels it is acceptable in a lambic. Of course, we weren't sure that is what we smelled. We just thought it might be.
Is your beer intimate, hand crafted, and artisanally made?
