What's the worst beer that you've ever had?

I think it's the peanut butter flavoring/extract in particular to me. The beer has a real oily mouthfeel, didn't care for it

 

I read that first as Alf (rhymes with shelf) as opposed to (h)alf and thought it was a reference to the sitcom ALF. I was expecting it to be brewed with cats and dryer lint.

 

Old General. Brewed with pure artisan well water in New Jersey. We gave it away to all the people we didn't like.

 

The worst beer I've ever had is [INSERT YOUR FAVORITE BEER HERE]. Tasted absolutely terrible. Total drain pour.

But for real, the worst beer I've ever had was Camo Black malt liquor. It was $1.50 for tall boy (24 oz) at a local liquor store down the street when I worked in Redlands. Tasted and smelled like liquified cigarette butts, green pepper, and had the consistency of a barleywine. Never again unless it's for a gag gift for a co-worker or something.

 

Damn, was looking forward to trying this. The baby puke would be a bit off-putting though

 

I have to partly agree here. If you are at all into curry, it smells incredible. Taste is pretty bad, mostly due to the hot peppers. I once found it on tap, and the guy said it hadn't sold well but thank god it was almost tapped out. After he saw I had finished the tap, he said he'd make me a deal on a crowler which he thought would run it out. Can't recall whether it took two or three crowlers to kill it, but I bought them all cheap. Huge mistake. First of all their crimper was not working well and they all seeped in the fridge. And - I had a major reflux reaction to the first one I had, could hardly lay down that night. Drain-poured the rest, will never have it again.

 

Maybe I had a bad bottle, but the aroma was putrid.

 

One of my very few drain pours was Sierra Nevada Otra Vez. It was unpleasantly sour, and there was "stuff" floating around in it - yes, I know it was supposed to be there - but it just caused a strong visceral response.

Any one ever have this gem? I found it randomly in a Meijer and it was terrible. My friend said it tasted like someone ashed a cigarette in the can.

 

My worst is a tie between Founder's Better Half (nauseatinglly sweet, like drinking maple syrup soaked pancakes) and a two year old bottle of DFH 120 Minute (don't know if it was me or the beer, but it was God awful). The Better Half was dumped after 1/2 a glass. The ($10) bottle of 120 Minute after the second swallow.

I thought it tasted like lavender air freshener.

 

Drain poured a Carton enigma remix late hopped wheat beer today. I said in my review it was bad ,but not a drain pour . I was wrong. Viscosity like 5W20. Sucks-

 

It was not you. DFH 120 is horrendous in my opinion. I like straight bourbon. This beer was all wrong.

 

I've never seen that beer, and from the description sounds like it should be banned from further brewing. I thought Meijer's buyers had a bit more sense than to allow something like this in their inventory.

 

Wells Banana Bread, still sitting on the shelf at my grocery store.

 

It's also now the 3rd best selling beer in the US. From Brewbound:

 

Two of my all time favorite beers. The DFH 120 is especially great, imo, at the 4 to 5 year mark. I love Better Half for the reasons it does not appeal to you. It’s crazy how we love or hate the same beers... that’s what makes drinking/sharing our thoughts fun here - Cheers!

 

Shock Top Honey Bourbon Cask Wheat. Just awful

 

You're not alone, I think my review says it tasted like a Dollar Store brand Reeses Cup.

 

Life would be damned boring if everyone liked the same things

 

I may have to change my answer. I just tried a new brew from Third Street called JHB. Legitimately had the aroma of lotion, and it's flavor profile was perfume and bar soap...

 

I think youbhit the nail on the head. The word “City” was def on the can. It was horrendous. I was living in PA at the time too. And absolutely it was less than $10 for a 30 rock. Beast Light (also horrendous) was $10 a 30 pack in college and so often our go to cause we were broke as shit, and I know this this shitty “City” beer was even cheaper!

Good times! haha

 

Lausitzer Porter - disgustingly sweet. Also thin and fizzy. Only beer I have poured away.

 

Oh, I'm aware. Every super-fit wannabe cool person who wants to fit in with the gang by having a "beer" drinks that mess. Meanwhile, a perfectly good Topo Chico is sitting just off to the side not being drunk despite possessing much more overall quality and purpose.

I try very hard to be open-minded about all beer and to find something good in each one, but Michelob Ultra sucks and the people who drink it should stop. Order a shot of vodka and a Perrier instead and rid us of this blight on the beer landscape!

 

Reading the name of this beer, I can't imagine it tasting good. I will NOT do research to find out...

 

So, according to my ratings, it's Mr. Stout by Mankato and I have to agree with that previous iteration of myself. I like some of Mankato's other brews, pretty much love a couple of them, and I generally like imperial stouts, but Mr. Stout is so boozy, solvent, harsh (did I mention molten-level burning booze?) and otherwise irredeemable that I had two swallows and drain-poured (which almost never happens).

 

Most disappointing beer as of late was the capt lawrence carvel collab “cookie puss”

 

I couldn't agree more; just pointing out that what a microcosm craft drinkers are.
Despite the fact that no one on BA would willingly drink this beer, Mich Ultra is on track to rake over $1.5 billion in 2019. While Yuengling, the largest "craft" brewery, made something like $250 million in 2018.

 

Yes I do chew on habaneros from time to time. I mainly cook with them but always save 1 to eat alone.

 

According to my reviews this

https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/105/1299/?ba=russpowell#review

Mich Ultra is right down there as well. Had a few wretched brew pub brews over the decades, nothing stands out. This was really the case in Oklahoma when everything was capped ABV-wise unless they sold it to brokers/wholesalers & then bought it back. Bricktown comes to mind for sure. I enjoyed all kinds of beer in the UK below 4.2%. I'm guessing cask conditioning was the difference

 

KBS from Founders was the last drain pour. It was the second time I've tried it, but it just not agree with my palette. I know, I know this stout gets glowing reviews but it must be the barrel aging, as I do enjoy a good stout. However this KBS isn't that stout.

 

Genesse Ice. I think this is the only beer that was ever not drank that came into my college apartment.

 

That's crazy isn't it? Yuengling's standard lager is bursting with flavor IMO, while Ultra tastes worse than water.

What most frustrates me is how much I do appreciate a good "light" beer, especially a good session beer with a sub-4% ABV. If Ultra had just an ounce of decent barley malt in it, it might be palatable. Lone Star Light is fantastic by comparison. I wouldn't put it up against Atrial Rubicite or Rochefort 10, but you get what I'm saying.

 

For me it's a tossup - Hopslam, Two-Hearted or Pliny

 

Yes officer, this post right here.

 

You know you want to love Pliny...I’m gonna bring you some bottles for our next meet up - Cheers buddy!

 

I was surprised it took as long as it did for someone to respond to my post. The 3 beers I mentioned just do not excite me like they do excite so many others. We all have our own tastes though and that is good. It is what makes us all individuals. ! Cheers my friend !
