Danny’s tasting

MGD is another lager out of the US that is almost as well known as Bud and I'd reckon you've all seen it in the shops. Like most lagers you don't buy them for a special treat as they all tend to be of a similar tasting experience. Kind of when the beer is the accompaniment to the evening, not the main event if you know what I mean.

I consulted my evenings tasting notes for guidance and found the following:

"The latex suit doesn't breathe as well as you'd think and if you have to use restraints then soft cords are better than handcuffs and it's always a good idea to have some replacement batteries close by just in case"

It was then that I realised this was an entirely different sort of review, having nothing whatever to do with beer (must remember to keep these separate and makes me wonder what "Leather and Latex Monthly" thought of my review for Blue Tongue as it seems they may have received it in error).

Anyway I digress. MGD is what it is and doesn't try to be something it's not. What it is is an above average lager that gets the job done with a minimum of fuss. I gave it an 8.

Craig’s tasting

After the disappointment of watching the new Transformers movie I resorted to a few MGD’s to relieve the pain.

Having grown up with the Transformers and owning my very own Optimus Prime at one stage I was very keen to see what the latest installment had to offer.

Instead I had to sit and watch a series of useless fight scenes in which Optimus Prime appeared to be the only Autobot with the capacity to inflict any harm on the evil Decepticons.

While I have sat through worse fight scenes I did manage to have my first non alcohol related vomit in years when it turned out the only way to revive a dead Optimus Prime was by inserting the Matrix of Leadership into him.

I don’t want to be harsh, but if I had wanted to delve into what a Matrix of Leadership could do I would have just signed up for a degree in management and gone back to University. At least then, any vomiting would be a result of excessive beer consumption.

Surprisingly enough becoming a rainy face movie critic is a perfect segue into a review on MGD.

The good and bad news about MGD is that there is not much to talk about. It is very inoffensive and you could do a lot worse. For me it is not worlds away from a Budweiser or even your typical blonde beer. A qualified beer reviewer would most likely hate it. The fact that I don’t mind it confirms I have no qualification (as mentioned in other reviews)

With all said and done I give Transformers a three.
