    I just come across this gem "It's as smooth as a 1970's deep voiced smooth talking black pimp trying to pick up your momma" and had to laugh. Then I was wondering whywas his momma in the company of pimps. Was she the property of one pimp and being wooed by another pimp? Was his was momma hot? Why was he around while she was "working"? Anyway, ever read any funny lines in a review?

    This one is easy. Just read UGADawgGuy's review of Sam Adams Triple Bock.

    Here's a snippet: "As soon as the thick, tarry stool sample caressed my tongue, I knew I had been fundamentally changed. The rumors were true. Triple Bock tastes at once sickly sweet (like vomit after you've eaten a stack of pancakes drizzled with maple syrup), bone-chillingly sour (like soy sauce brewed in 1910, or vinegar derived from an eagle's tears), and improbably alluring. A second sip unveiled notes of mulch pile, fresh giraffe manure, and 9-volt battery."

    I go back and read the entire review whenever I'm feeling blue. It's an instant pick me up.

    Can't recall the specifics, just that a reviewer gave a super low score to a German helles and wrote an angry review centered around the question, "Where's all the hops?!!?"

    You have your moments too it seems. From your mini-review of Natural Light:

    "No off flavors and very drinkable. Not awful. Plus it's natural so it's healthy."

    "
    This is the shit. The Shit. Seriously. Nothing says let's go camping, find some inbreds, and let them shove a banjo up our asses like Bud Light & Clamato. I find myself gravitating towards flannel shirts when I crack open a 25 oz. bad boy, and later I am grasping my hatchet when I wake up on the splintery floor of my dad's Winnebago, drowning in empty Bud Light & Clamato cans and empty Cheez-It boxes. 10/10 will drink again. Woo Pig Sooie.

    Might be a bit too Pittsburgh-centric for some folks to pick up on the analogies, but @Stigs has been on his review game recently...gotta give him a plug...

    Snippet below from this review: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/32390/131834/?ba=Stigs

    "Carries a bit of that kettle-soured reflux profile, like having one too many slices of Fiori's before laying down on the couch and watching old Steelers highlights. The tartness lingers moderately before hitting the brakes sharply like a white woman approaching the Squirrel Hill tunnels, fading into a starchy nothingness a la Primanti's fries."

    "Poured into a snifter on 6/1/12

    Much appreciation to MbpBugeye for burning the hell out of every palate at the tasting.

    A) Murky gold with flakes. No head or lace.

    S) Chili peppers. So hot. That's it.

    T) Holy shit.

    M) Pain. Scathing, enduring pain.

    Sorry for all the posts, but I love this topic...finding hilarious reviewers on this site is kind of a passion of mine...

    Another beauty from @Ryan011235

    "The treachery of the aroma doesn't entirely carry over to the flavor but, man, this is not good. Processed cheese, oregano, basil, faint tomato, the burden of knowledge, self-loathing, squandered chances, wasted years, shame. It makes you question the choices you've made, how your life wound up like this & why you hurt the ones you love."

    Overlord's Triple Bock review is classic too:
    "Worst tasting thing I can ever recall consuming. I would rather plunge heated barbed wire into my tongue than allow this to ever touch my precious palate again. I curled on the floor of a shower and cried for a good 15 minutes until its ungodly taint left my flesh.

    This beer has led me to make this solemn vow: I will pimp this product whenever possible so as to ensure that others experience the same misery I have."

    From a review of this beer:

    http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/16991/42484/

    "Gotta give this motherfucker a 5 for appearance as this brewery does not fuck around. Served from a goddamn 2 liter plastic bottle with a screw cap. I respect the shit out of this already and I have not gotten to my two favorite parts. They put the goddamn nutritional facts on there which is lovely as who the fuck does not want to know what the exact makeup of the nutritious concoction that is about to fill one's gullet? This guy does. And now for the best part...in the bottle floating around like deer shit on the 9th hole's fairway are motherfucking raisins. I'm not sure what the exact name is for the trifecta of a 2 liter plastic bottle, nutritional information, and raisins, but I'm pretty certain it's known as the "Tripel MotherFucking Crown".

    Anywho..."beer" poured into some vessel looking like the abandoned stepchild of Dr. Pepper, Dr. Skipper (who is not an MD, but a DO). Raisin look as delicious as ever. Head is not much, but I think that most will agree that the raisins more than make up for it. Surprisingly I'm not loving the smell. A little bit of burnt rubber and bread along with soda. Taste is a little better with a lot of bread and other things. Carbonation is fine.

    Not a beer that I will drink again, but goddamn...we have reached a new level of packaging."

    @Christopher_Hoagie's review of Busch Light

    "The finest of historical lagers, found myself a 2007 vintage that my wife surprisingly cellared for me. She made the pour perfectly with just the right amount of light head.

    Notes of the Smoky Mountains, and so cold my nipples could cut glass.

    Would highly recommend on a special occasion."

    @Villiam 's review of Leinenkugel's Snowdrift Vanilla Porter is brilliant and surreal:

    Little to no head on this brew. Smells of vanilla and coffee. The first taste had a solid vanilla flavor and a slight bitterness. I tries to cleanse the palate with Cheetoes but wiped my hands on the drapes and caught them on fire. Would not burn down my house again for. 2.75/5

    "Oh Steel, you were so cheap
    Your 8.1 ABV I decided to reap
    BeerAdvocate asked me about your mouthfeel
    And honestly, you make my tastebuds peel

    Lets be honest, I am poor
    So I decided to buy one more
    I poured you into my frosted mug
    The next morning I felt beaten by a thug

    Oh Steel, you taste like liquid metal
    Oh Steel, I feel like I'm licking a kettle
    Please, Steel, you don't look that bad
    But, honestly, you smell like a sweaty dad.
