    That is one of the worst beers I've ever had. And the fact that I paid ~$14 for it still irks the shit out of me. I wouldn't age it, drink it, or "gift" it to anyone. Personally if I had another I would use it as a practical joke or give a glass to someone I really disliked. What an awful bottle of crap!

    Save it for a tasting. I know I'd be interested in about 1 oz of a horrible, horrible, awful, sweet mother of god is this shit bad beer to make everything at the tasting that much more enjoyable

    Cheers!

    There is only one honorable way to dispose of the bottle. Try to drink it. We've all unknowingly purchased beers that turned out bad, but there is really only one thing to do. It wouldn't be very nice to pawn your mistake off an unknowing family member or friend!

    Buying a dud happens to the best of us. I'd still tick it.

    So it has bad reviews. How do you know it will be a dud to you? Drink it.

    Bring it to a tasting and/or give it to someone as an extra -- preferably to someone in a state that doesn't get Big Sky.

    Yeah, the beer may be shit, but lots of people would still get a kick out of getting to try it. How else to explain Infinium's 477 reviews? Or the two Cave Creek Chile beers having over 400 combined reviews? Drinking a truly awful beer is like a test of manhood or right of passage.

    I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all -- but 66. Sixty-six. Just judging by the scores, the best thing anyone has been able to say about it is "Well, at least it didn't give me AIDS."

    Drink it. Use a super frosty MGD pint glass and throw a couple limes in it.

    I know. I just would like people to develop their own opinion, instead of just looking at a review and saying, "oh well. Must be shit."

    It's probably because you bought it at that Total Wine and the sun's UV rays went all Fantastic Four on it and gave it the super power of not being god awful.

    That is pretty much what I've determined I should do.

    I'd try it. Everyone has done it once or twice. They put it to market for a reason. Try to appreciate it for what it is, drink as much as u can stomach and move on. Just tack it up to a loss if u don't like it.
