A Mes rate. Can at Chris O’s pre NYE tasting. Full on sweet and corny. One of those ’why the hell do I bother?’scoops. Crap but sadly, I’ve had much worse.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Can at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. Smells of pancakes. It’s not as bad as some people say. It’s not the worst low alcohol I’ve had. Malt/pancakes.
0.9 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
(Bottle, thanks oh6gdx) Pours dark brown. Sweet and wort like aroma with notes of sour hay, rotten grass and corn. Rather grainy. Heavy sweet flavour with notes of wort, sugar and grass. Lingering artificial sweetness with grainy notes. Hard mouthfeel. Light body. Uhhh.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle from a Portuguese grocery. Dark ruby-brown with a small tan head - looks really nice, actually! Aroma of sweet wort - totally reminds me of my university days, when I lived downwind from a brewery - along with some canned fruit notes. Flavour is fairly dull, artificial tasting sweetness with some faint malt notes. I suppose if I was off booze and really wanted a dark beer, it would serve as a semi-reasonable facsimile, but when I’ve got lots of the real stuff on hand, why bother?
