    I learned that I will never buy Founders Cerise ever again. From what I heard, this may no longer be produced in the future, which is a good thing for those who haven't tried it. My wife took one sip and described it as a very bad, flat Izze soda and she likes Izze sodas.

    Hellshire II, anyone? Most infected beer I've ever come across. An utter disaster.

    Depends how much of a reading it made on the vinegarometer.

    I got about halfway through the bomber before I was completely overwhelmed by the undercarbonation and sweetness. Unlike the Cantillon, I actually did drainpour half of this one.

    Really? I love that beer. I've had three or four and have two more cellared. Weird.

    I read this whole quote in the voice of Bruce Campbell for some reason, lol. Anyhow, carry on.

    Ironic, I am about to drain pour #2 - Mikkeller It's Alright. Soldiered through a half glass before I opened the fridge and saw a Peche Mortel begging to cleanse my palate!

    In the wise words of the great Stan Marsh... C'Ya It's Alright!!

    Samuel Adams Infinium - I usually check this site before trying something new, especially something this pricey, but I ran with it based on the strength of the Sam Adams brand and was sorely disappointed.

    I try not to drain pour. However, I've poured quite a few old ipa's before I learnt to drink fresh.

    Worst one for me was few sip's into a 750ml bottle of Rockmill's Witbier it was massively infected and both my buddy and I poured it promptly.

    Interesting, multiple people, myself included, thought it was the best beer on a pub crawl recently, other beers on the crawl were
    -Lost Abbey Deliverance
    -Ballast Point Habanero Sculpin
    -Left Hand Ambidextrous
    -Laughing Dog Sneaky Pete
    -Stone Ruination Double Dry Hopped with Citra on Cask
    -Ballast Point Schooner Wet Hop Ale
    -Founders Nemesis 2010

    and it was pretty good from a bottle too. Different strokes and all that i guess.

    A store-bought growler of Rogue Dead Guy. I guess forgetting it was full on the shelf for 4+ years before trying it was a bad idea, eh?

    Literally the worst beer I have ever had. It had no taste but death, and it makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it.
