    I liked that one. Diff'rent Strokes to move the world, I guess.

    I believe there is a reason it is called "steele regrets"

    Oh yeah, in addition to anything by New Belgium, I'm also adding anything by Magic Hat.

    I honestly have no clue what he is talking about with Golden Monkey being 'gimmicky.'

    Though I do agree with the general Watermelon Dorado sentiment as well.

    LOL. My experience is the opposite. Then again, I like a really well balanced beer sometimes.
    I have often ordered Boston Lager over the local craft brews here after tasting samples of the local stuff (which by and large tastes like to me amateur hour). With few exceptions, the Boston Lager has usually been a better choice.
    The main beers that I'll probably never touch again are anything from Innis & Gunn...I wanted to like them, but they have all been a nasty, cloying mess. One of them literally made be gag.
    Of course, as always, your mileage may vary.:grinning:

    Indra Kunindra mixed with chicken or beef broth makes an excellent base for a beef pot roast. Throw that and some veggies in a crock pot, serve over rice with a better stout. Good shit.

    As far as beers I'll never drink again, I'll echo Oculto, and also add Ghost Face Killah, and Stone's Crime and Punishment. Really, just no more chilli beer. Not for me.

    Hard to imagine anyone taking issue with KBS. How did it fail you?

    Stone's Crime. By extension, Stone's Punishment, as well, I guess. I'm sure they're great beers if you're into pepper juice, but they're not at all what I'm looking for in a beer (and definitely not what my stomach lining is looking for :confused:).

    Founders Mango Magnifico. I don't mind spicy beers but didn't care for the mix of spiciness and uber-sweet fruit.

    Redd's Apple Ale. Tastes like it was brewed in plastic barrels using rotten apples. Horrible chemical taste, similar to malt liquor.

    Ballast Point Indra Kunindra, I thought this was horrible.

    Evil Twin "Femme Fatale:Mango" I am convinced the bottle I had sat on the shelf for away too long. I saw it at a shop, and thought it sounded delicious! There was no best by or bottled on date so I said screw it. Oh my god, it was worse than any bad sour beer you could have. I'm scared to try it again.

    Watermelon Dorado by Ballast Point was pretty terrible too. It was like rubbing alcohol

    With that big ol' can, this lovely "brew" piggy-backed on the success of the iconic Oil Can O'Fosters. It is hard to follow Fosters, because, well, they're iconic.

    It's an opinion. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the definition of that word?

    FYI, the brewery description of that Boulevard beer does not mention using Brett. It does talk about brewhouse souring for the beer, which these days seems to mean dosing it with lactobacilli. So that should be where the sour comes from.

    While some Brett beers will include mild sour in their profile the sour from Brett isn't going to be as strong or noticable as it is in a Wild Ale when lactobacilli are involved in the brewing or as it often is when kettle souring is done. So that kettle souring may be what's giving you the impression of vinegar in the Boulevard beer.

    I was expecting something along the lines of a wheat beer with this one, with some hate and a little sweetness. Instead, I got what tasted like someone melted artificially-flavored mango hard candies into a liquid, threw in a dash of crushed peppers, and bottled it. It is probably the only beer from Founder I have ever truly disliked.
