Guinness, at the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, Ireland.
I figured I would get some flame without explanation. I am not an Irish Stout drinker, so not a fan of the brew to begin with, but can still tell quality. At the Storehouse, however, the beer tasted watered down. There was no character other than thickness and head. It was bland, and the only excuse I could come up with is that it was young. Even my wife, who loves Guinness, only had a third of her pint.
This goes for Guinness we got elsewhere in Ireland as well. Same watered down taste.
They say it tastes different in Ireland... they are right, it is worse.
worst beer i've ever had was leinie's berry weiss. took one drink and spit it back out.
Berryweiss is like rancid jam.

That is a great description of their Sunshine Wheat as well.

Corona. You know a brewery is bland as hell when their 'extra' is under 5% abv.
This breaks my heart! Are you speaking of River Horse Brewing Company in Lambertville, New Jersey? This is one of my favorite breweries.
Shipyard Pumpkinhead is absolutely terrible this year... tastes like a watery cider with a handful of random spices thrown in.
seriously?
and before this some one mentioned newcastle...
you guys really need expand your horizon on commercial beer.
Someone mentioned SA Coastal Wheat. I second that. Disgusting. Induces the gag reflex the second you try to swallow it. I cant believe this beer passes their QA standards.
Recent micros I've tried which are horrible:
Founders Red's Rye PA - most of the labels in my 6 pack were even upside down on the bottle!
!
Dude, are you serious? Red's Rye is one of my all time favorites. I have a clone fermenting as I speak. Great brewery, too.
Back in the 90's I bought a sixer of generic beer in Lexington KY. White label, black lettering: BEER. It was 99 cents a sixer. Horrible sweet aftertaste.
Last night I had a Souther Tier Pumpking on tap. Ugh. Could barely finish it. Waaaay too heavy on ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. And I like pumpkin beers!
Last weekend I bought something called Stack. I think it was 12%. It's even worse than the Steel Reserve Extra. I'm a cheapskate - have to alternate my expensive beers with cheap ones, but never again will I drink a Stack.
I've had some beer at tastings that bragged about tasting like horse hair blanket - and it did. Can't recall the name. it was true to style - just not MY style.
I'm dead serious! This stuff tasted like ass! My neighbor agreed. Maybe we just got a bad batch...Dude, are you serious? Red's Rye is one of my all time favorites. I have a clone fermenting as I speak. Great brewery, too.
