#63 - Wychwood Brewery - Dr Thirsty's

Dr Thirsty's is a pleasant, refreshing summer beer.  Other than a touch of citrus, it doesn't have much in the way of hoppy flavor, leaving it tasting rather like a grainy lager.  In a sense, this is a gateway ale to help rehabilitate lager drinkers.  In addition, it tastes must better chilled, so avoid this beer at room temperature.  At 4.1%, this is an ideal session beer.  The big drawback of this sort of beer is that ultimately it is low on flavor and misses out on the exceptional in every way, which is extremely disappointing from a brewery that uses brash marketing to pride itself on flavor.  It is better than average, but I can't imagine seeking it out for its own sake.  6.5/10
