I haven't drank in ~2.5 years and got served an alcoholic beer on accident.
Even the first sip tasted awful. Super sweet but at the same time like disinfectant.
And I used to love this brand of beer. Crazy how much of an acquired taste alcohol is.
You sure that wasn’t an alcohol free beer? Unless it’s de-alcholized beer, a non-alcoholic beer is stopped being brewed before a lot of the sugar from the yeast is turned into alchohol.
So they tend to be sweeter unless they add some additives, and they taste like stale alcohol as well, that could have been the disinfectant tinge. As they are still 0.5% alcohol typically.
100% sure because I've ordered the nonalcoholic Version and they apologised about a hundred times when I pointed out it was an alcoholic beer.
I drink a lot of non alcoholic beers and tried a lot of different brands, so I'm used to the way they taste. Also a lot of them have very low amounts of sugar in them (I.e. Jever fun, Fürstenberg 0%, etc).
Sweet beer?
What brand was it. Beer is bitter, not sweet unless you add some fruit or it’s mixed beer with juice something else.
Beer should be barley (wheat/rice/etc), hops, water, and yeast. That’s it.
It was Hacker-Pschorr Weißbier, so a Bavarian would say as beer as it can get
I see that’s a perfectly normal ingredient list. Maybe the glass wasn’t cleaned? That’s so weird about the sweet though.
I’ve had some 8% fruit yeasted beers, and they do taste like juice though.
