I had their Kolsch last night, it was a pretty solid beer. Im not a big fan of anything else they make and hate their "bock"

DesertBrew said:Someone handed me a Shiner Hefe last night. That is a dumper. Didn't even slightly taste like a german hefe.

Me neither. Their hefe is almost palatable, but it's just a cloudy, mild ale, not really a hefe. I had three Shiner Bocks in the fridge for several months. I wound up using them to make beer bread since I couldn't stand the thought of drinking them.Ó Flannagáin said:I've never liked a shiner beer I've tried either.
Professor Frink said:The BMCs have been doing that a lot lately, with Beach Bum, Leinenkugel, Stone Mill. They market these beers as microbrews, but they're mainly just crap.
Professor Frink said:A friend's girlfriend brought over a six pack of Mike's Hard Lemonade light. I couldn't even bother to dump them out, they're still sitting on the floor next to my beer cabinet.
cd2448 said:that stuff is really an acquired taste. i was in bamberg once and they had a blurb on a bar menu that said you needed to get to your third beer and you'd be hooked. i didn't even finish one.
last beer i tasted that i didn't like was flying fish belgian dubbel. too strong tasting, matured in bourbon casks (which might, of course, appeal to some).
and bear in mind i'm drinking my first home brew that still has a hint of cardboard about it, i'm not exactly discerning.

I love the Winter Lager. I think it is so good, and so does swmbo. I know Sam Adam's is such a lighning rod for discussion around here, almost as much as BMC. That in mind I am going to criticize another beer after praising the winter lager. SA Brown Ale sucks. I'm not much for most brown ales, but theirs is worse than most. I have never dumped it though, but it sucks that it comes in a mixed 6 pack with 2 other beers I like. the last time i truly wasted a beer was when I went into this bar in Detroit and ordered a Motor City Pale Ale. I thought I was an APA, but it turned out to be and English style pale ale, it was probably ok if you like the style, but I don't. Now I know to ask if its American or Englist Pale ale.

Ó Flannagáin said:Ahh, well that's different. I have no problem with Sam Adam's contracting with other breweries that make good beer

I have never even heard of that where did you get it?
mrk305 said:Sam Adam's Cherry Wheat. I bought a summer sampler that had two in it. YUCK!
Sir Humpsalot said:Dumped an Anheuser-Busch Bourbon-Barrel-Aged Vanilla Beer. It was just another ****ty BMC product as far as I'm concerned.

What's all the hype about Bell's?
I've now had 4 beers from them: Oberon, Two-hearted, Kalamazoo, and Expedition. None of them have left any impression on me whatsoever.
The Oberon tasted bland and drank more like a corn-lager than a Wheat Ale. The
Two-Hearted tasted barely like a pale ale. No hop bitterness, flavour, or aroma.
The Kalamazoo was the best out of the bunch, but still really didn't do anything spectacular for me. Mediocre at best.
Now the Expedition...wtf? We had this as a blind tasting at a club event this past Saturday. Worst RIS I've ever had. Fusels were ridiculous...tasted like molasses flavoured paint thinner.
I'm done with trying Bell's.
Evan! said:I wonder if you had weird batches. I'll agree with you on the Oberon---never saw what people were so hyped about there. very bland. The 2-hearted is a standard PA, but nothing to write home about. I can't agree that there's no bitterness, flavor or aroma, though. Kalamazoo is a solid stout---the licorice is nice---but nothing to write home about.
The most perplexing is the Expedition. That's one of my favorites, and I've gotta wonder if you caught a bad batch on that one.
