Read the label. Carefully!

This evening I had a Weizenbier. It's one I've enjoyed before: OK on an absolute scale, and great value at Lidl's price. Name of Patronus.
This time it was truly disgusting.
I never thought a Weizenbier could vary that much. Nor that the more autumnal weather would make such a difference: although it's the heat of summer when Weizenbier really shines, it's a decent enough tipple even at other times. But not this one.
Then I saw the label. "Alkoholfrei".
Damn, it looks just like the real thing, and comes from the same shelves. Why can't they use a conspicuously-different label, to save confusion? Next time I shall know better than to pick any such thing up without attention to detail!
