Green Flash Barleywine. I'd rather drink cologne from one of those goofy racecar bottles.
Sam Adams has some really good ones but also some really bad ones. Old fezziwig, and chocolate bock are horrible. (From the winter sampler) I also don't care for most of the southern tier brews.. It seems like they dump a truck load of lactose in everyone of them.
I have to agree with the Rouge Voodoo Bacon Maple. I was able to finish the bottle. But just barely.
Others that I can't stand are Pyramids Apricot Ale and there was a christmas beer about 10 years ago that i just could not drink. Got it. "Pete's Wicked Winter Brew." Or something like that. The last 5 bottles in the 6-pack sat in my fridge for over a year before I managed to get rid of it.
Patro said:I didnt like the sam adams chocolate bock either, and it was the beer I was most excited about in the sampler. Too sweet and artificial, It tasted like tootise roll.
And I do like Sam Adams. Especially their Octoberfest and that hazel nut brown.
I bought a case of beer claiming to be "Best Beers of the World" or something like that an one of the beers was a Chili pepper beer, with an actual pepper inside... It was like drinking bud light lime with Tabasco.
+1 to Brooklyn lager. I know we are supposed to like it because its from NYC but the $8 bottle from the hotel bar didn't live up to the hype
I tend to think that most SA bashing is done because it's trendy. Craft beer hipsterism.
By craft brew standards most of SA's offering fall somewhere between average and good. Their imperial pilsner and dopplebocks are particularly excellent. Their cream stout is probably the finest example of the style I've ever tasted. Even their Boston lager would be a fine session beer.
Yes, the taste reflects the price but I don't think there's anything wrong with producing a beer that doesn't cost $8+ for a bomber or $12+ for a six pack and still calling it craft.
Banana bread beer it was un believable bad it tasted like those cheap banana Popsicles it got worst the longer I drank it and it like 5 dollars for a pint

laerck said:Cave Creek Chili Beer, I tried it on a whim since I like beer and spicy things but it was just painful and disgusting...and if you ever try this beer whatever you do dont eat the pepper that comes in the bottle, you will lose tastebuds if you do.

Dogfish 120
+1 i was soooooo disappointed after all the hype. Don't get me wrong, it's okay.... Just okay!
