#2 - Brewers & Union UG - Bern Stein

I had high hopes for this 5% Munich brewed unfiltered unpasteurized Amber Ale.  It came with a snazzy red label and a delightful musical pun of a name.  The first taste didn't let me down.  I ran across the room and insisted that those with me try it immediately!  They did so just as I took my second sip, swallowing both my pride and credibility as a taster.  'Ugg, antiseptic!' one of my companions remarked and I found myself in complete agreement.  What began as a very promising new German beer that I had hoped to add to my repertoire ended as a glass that I didn't even finish...  (A rarity indeed for me ).  Unfortunately I cannot find a second bottle to make sure this is not simply an aberration from an otherwise excellent brewer.  For now we'll call it 2/10, but I shall certainly keep an open mind if any other offerings come my way from Brewers & Union UG.
