There is one beer down here I absolutely cannot stand: Lone Star
+1,000,000. Hangover in a bottle. I swear that stuff is full of fusel alcohols!

Speaking of dark lagers, have you had Shiner Black? I love that stuff... definitely in my top five favorite beers. It's a Schwartzbier. After I discovered it I set about trying trying to find a suitable recipe to brew as an ale or hybrid lager/ale to rotate on tap with my smoked porter. My last batch of AHS Black Ale is already 2/3 gone a month after I started on it (that was after three months of conditioning). It's like a schwartz but has a little too much roasty character to be as swillable.
I feel like a failure in some respects because I just don't care for barleywines. I can *appreciate* the craft in a barleywine, but I hate the overwhelming sweetness. Even when properly bittered, it's just too much.
Please don't stone me for admitting this!
What about Old Guardian? I swear one bomber has enough hops in it to bitter a 5 gallon batch of IPA.
Also, I forgot pumpkin beers. Who was the first person to think this was a good idea?

...I have also found that I really do not care for the belgian witbiers I have had (blue moon, sam adams white ale...etc.) ...
I don't care for most of the Belgian Witbiers you have listed either, but I just shared a sixer of hoegaarden the other night with a buddy who loves that beer. I do appreciate that beer a whole bunch!
HMMMM Good thread.
As a new brewer, I have about 50 beers on my todo list.
Now, I'll move the couple of the wheat beers down the list, and probably think of removing them. And I'll forget any cilantro / Coriander - that stuff is certainly gross.

It would be interesting to know a) how any of you don't like wheats because they make you want to physical gag, or they dry out the throat or something similar, something physical?
B) How many of you also can't tolerate the taste of Cilantro as well?
Cilantro Wheat huh???????
Seriously, my father is the same way about wheat beers and cilantro. I don't know if it's the soap thing but he can taste the smallest amount of cilantro in anything and won't eat it! He's never liked wheat beer either. I love it all. I'll bring up that NPR show to him. Thanks revvy.
Hate wheat beers. Love cilantro.
I just don't care for that "clove-like" flavor, just like I hate ham that's been seasoned with cloves. Nasty.
I'll look for Shiner Black...And if you want I'll try to find my copy of Deco's recipe and send it to you...I'll have to write it up, since it was handwritten.
