Kinda feel bad... My bro in law has a friend that brews, and I was interested in trying a few. He did a couple different styles, a PA from only Australian hops, one with all NZ hops, and a pumpkin ale... The Australian brew was fantastic!! Really enjoyed it. Didn't get to try the NZ brew yet. But... I opened the bottle of pumpkin, and immediately got a huge dirt aroma, Faint root beer, dirty vegetable smells... I took a small sip... Tasted exactly like the aroma!!! I had to spit it out... I have no idea what happened there but geez!!! I hope I got a bad bottle cause I don't think anybody could move that to a bottling bucket and not think something was wrong... I have no idea what his recipe or process was, but I definitely need to let him know something was wrong...
