First brew Lager Taste

[youngbrewer]

hi all,

Had a glas of my first brew the other night and it has a not very nice after taste, fizz is good and clear and the smell is fine just the after taste aint to nice

is the vina lager in my sig that

[BlackBag]

This taste, is it a hard to describe, sort of chemical taste?
And does it taste a bit too sweet?
The reason I ask is because I too made the Vina Traditional Lager, mine was made up to 4 1/2 gallons. I made it just before discovering this forum board, hence a few elementary mistakes - made with supplied yeast (guess what, it took a while), water not treated with campden, white granulated Morrisons sugar used for brew and priming, siphoned via gob and tubing directly to bottles from initial FV.
My biggest problem was that most bottles (2 ltr PET)were flat, I don't know how but their tops had unscrewed a bit. Anyway, all bar 2 didn't taste very nice. I've still got 5 left that I re-primed. Haven't been brave enough to try these ones yet.
