    Yeah, the reviews didn't really have me foaming at the mouth to drink it.

    Fresh Oak-Aged Yeti a few years ago...DAMN it's a bit harsh when young...had a 2yr old kegged (and properly stored) version, and it wasn't bad at all...maybe my palate, maybe the beer?

    Also, fought through JW Lees Lagavulin barrel...like JW Lees, love single-malts, but DAMN...barely got it down

    Stone 16th Anniversary is crap. Lemon Verbena, Lemon Oil and a bunch of Rye Malt.... Just didn't work. Two sips and done. I just saw Stone/IPA/Anniversary and bought two bottles. Perplexed as to what to do with the 2nd one...

    Pumking blows. Drain pour the shit out of it.

    Dumped the hell out of DFH Pangaea, too.

    I've drained quite a few beers over the years. If it tastes bad, down the drain it goes. Doesn't matter if it was an expensive beer either. I'll try any beer once but I won't force myself to drink something that just isn't enjoyable.

    The highest rated beer I've drained poured is Pumking. (The 2011 edition.) I tried it twice to make sure. Just plain awful on my palate.

    Indian wells IPA and doppelbock. Do they have quality control at their brewery? How do they let this stuff out the door?

    Funny, this specific beer was the one that got me into craft beer. Had one recently that was in and out of the fridge and the taste was cloyingly sweet. Odd how palates change because at first it was a great beer

    I'm about to drain pour a glass of Old Man Winter Ale from Southern Tier. It tastes like priming sugar...

    Anderson Valley has a kegging/transportation problem. We've gotten their summer and winter solstice, which i both love in a can or bottle, in kegs over the last 2 years and 75% of the time we've had to send the kegs back.

    Much of the local bars in Philadelphia have agreed with us. The draft pours tasted either soapy or vinegarish in all bad cases spread across the region.

    At a tasting last week 3 out of 4 of us drained poured Veritas 03, it has to either be the Angel share or Amazing Grace that made this so horrible.

    Poured a bottle of DFH Festina Peche, bad bottle maybe?? Terrible from the start.
    And sick as it may sound, i love BCBS in the cold to semi cold range of temp. but if it gets to warm, i cannot finish it.

    I can honestly say I have never drain poured as of yet. This is why I am a big fan of buying single bottles instead of 4/6 packs. I will suffer through one and be glad to move on to something better.

    Wow, we just had a 2001 JW lees Harvest on a night with KH, MOAS, Abacuas, and Sucaba and it fit right in with them. Wish it were a bigger bottle!

    That wasn't a bad bottle, my friend. How do they call that an authentic Berlinerweiße when the God forsaken Reinheitsgebot says no fruit in beer?! All DFH can piss off. Modern Berlinerweiße as interpreted by someone that knows no history of beer is more like it.

    Yeah? That beer ruined my credit, screwed my sister, and threw up in the trunk of my car.

    Alright, all three of those were actually me, but the beer is also to blame.
