Tap at Fifth Quadrant (NOL) - 07/11/12. This beer looked the part ! Hazed light chestnut brown with reddish hues and a thin off white head that eased to the edge of the glass. Nose is harsh alcohol, wood, sour vinegar, Ronseal - unfortunately doing what it said on the tin - MEH ! Taste is sour (that was the correct aspect), vinegar, piss, varnish (which I obviously haven’t tasted but am thinking it’s pretty rank!), some light cherry notes. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation and a sour - piss - Ronseal finish. 2out of 5 of us had this, we both left 85% of the glass. File under ’M’ for MEH!

Touch of wheat in the taste, pale malts, a little on the sweet/sugary side. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, smooth on the palate. Nothing special.

Very lager-y. Pale orange with thin white head. Some lacing. Medium flavour with a bit of rusk. Some roast in the malty aroma. Sweet tempered by bitter hop finish.
Earlier Rating: 9/26/2010 Total Score: 2.4
Draught, red brown with thin head. No lacing. Faint malty aroma, with a woody, barrelly note. Thin Body. Rather bland flavour. Somewhat sweet, but not good sweet. Almost no finish. There are many better Oktoberfest biers.
