    Rodenbach Grand Cru. Epic Fail.

    Mikkeller Blackest Bourbon aged stout
    I've tried a few that could fit in this category but this was far and away the one I had the highest hopes for and turned into an expensive drain pour.

    My most disappointing, as in highest hopes dashed, was also a much praised expensive stout; "AleSmith Speedway Stout"

    Far from a drain pour, and indubitably well made, but I found it clumsy and unsubtle.

    It was far from the worst beer I've had, but Sip of Sunshine was a huge disappointment for me. Huge. Especially considering the fact that I tried Second Fiddle and Heady at the same time.

    Had an abomination of a witbier from an NC brewer recently: Twisted River Wit by Deep River (review here). The nose was off-kilter and the flavor was overbearingly sour with actual vinegar notes. *Has* to have been a bad bottle/batch, I can't see someone knowingly making a wit like this. Drain-poured the last half.

    I was going to bring it up to the owner of the bottle shop that I frequent the next time I was in; went in last night and before I could bring it up, he mentioned that he had seen my review and had popped one open to see for himself (with similar results). He is going to touch base with the brewery and see what they have to say.

    Yes I drank Chesterfield Ale faithfully for many years when there was really nothing else out there. Now I could never imbibe one for anything (sad, makes me feel guilty to say so). BTW, Terrapin Rye is consistently pretty awful -- have tried several times - hoping -- a good rye ale seems to be a rarity.

    Here's a combination that you DON'T want to take on your next camping trip:
    Short's Imperial Spruce India Pilsner: like gnawing on raw spruce at the camp site
    HaandBryggeriet Norwegian Wood: like inhaling the entire camp fire

    I am never too proud to turn down a Bud, Miller, Coors product.

    That being said, Bud Light Lime is an abomination.

    I am consistently disappointed by Stone products, so overrated.

    21zt Admendment Hell or High Watermellon. Taste like drinking a stale 312 while sucking on a jolly rancher

    Choc Lobster from Dogfish Head.

    Imagine eating chocolate paste created by your 4 year old niece that, for inexplicable reasons, included a step where several very dead lobsters were included in a process that boiled the paste and decaying lobster into an abominable concoction that Agnus, your Aunt's 12 year old half blind Miniature Schnauzer, won't even sample.

    Sam Adams Dunkelweizen.........It was probably 5 years ago that I picked up a sixer of this stuff. To ME at least, it tasted like smoke.......or a barbeque. Tasted like I was drinking a camp fire. I drain poured 5 bottles, plus whatever was remaining in the bottle that I had taken 2 sips out of. Funny thing is, when I did a little research on this brew....google, and also on this site......I could find absolutely NOTHING that even mentioned a "smokey" flavor. So I hope I am talking about the right beer, lol. Anyway, all of the reviews seem to be pretty high......so maybe I'm just not a fan of the style.

    I don't care how desperate you are...Buck Range "Premium" Light is the worst effing thing I have ever tasted. At its optimal temperature of "as cold as possible" it is foul, and with each passing second it only gets worse.

    If you are that much of a wino, drink mouthwash or hand sanitizer. Your taste buds will thank you.

    Leinenkugel's Berry Weiss, tastes like the cough medicine your Mom gave you as a kid.

    Oh and the Shock Top Twisted Pretzel Wheat. Taste like if I was a baby-bird and the Momma-bird chewed up a pretzel and spit it into my mouth
