Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

[ikonis]

Hands down, Pyramid Apricot Ale, tried it before and after they changed the name to "Audacious" either way it was just crap, people diss Sam Adam's Blackberry Wit, Cranberry Lambic and Cherry Wheat but I can at least finish a bottle of those, not "Audacious". That beer turned me off to fruit beers until I discovered lambics.

Awe. I liked the audacious apricot ale

My worst is probably Well's Banana Bread Beer

Had to be the most dry thing I've ever tasted beyond cardboard.

Anything with barley or hops in it.

Some wacky beer with watermelon in it, from a can. The name escapes me.

Hell or High Watermelon?:

I've had it before. I thought it was ok, but a bit too light tasting.

Good heavens, that's it! Tasted like some fruity artificial wine cooler from hell. Yechhhhhhhhhh. But that's just my opinion. If you can drink it, then more power to you.

Oh don't get me wrong, not really defending it here, I've only had one ever. The place I had it at I typically drink Schneider Weisse so after that one as an experiment of curiosity I went right back to my Schneider.

Most recently I had to pour out 4LOKO. I managed to get 3 down and I ended up puking from them, and I am no light weight by any means. I have no idea what the hype about that garbage was all about. I love some stimulants mixed with my alcohol but 4LOKO was a huge disappointment by my standards.

Aside from this garbage, the last beer I bought that I couldn't get down was Victory Whirlwind Wheat. I love Victory brewing, my favorite is their Golden Monkey or the Prima Pils but god damn did I gag trying to drink the Whirlwind Wheat. It gets great reviews on Beer Advocate and I know a lot of people that like it. Maybe I got a bad case or something, it might be worth another try but I dont wanna get it, hate it and be out another 30 bucks as I am the only one in my circle that really enjoys wheat beer.


Oh yeah. I wanted to agree that Sam Adams Cherry Wheat does nothing for me either. I wouldn't pour it out but I wouldn't actively seek it out.

[mixedbrewer]

Negra Modelo ! This smells and tastes like canned vegetables.

 

[dcHokie]

Stella and Peroni.

 

[TwoFortySX]

Stella and Peroni.

I know this thread is all opinions but I actually liked Peroni.

 

[cms]

Heineken. Always lemony/puckery and skunky/light-struck. Nasty stuff. Budweiser is pretty bad, too. That stuff gives me a terrible hangover every time. Like ether and gasoline.

 

[GetLooseontheGoose]

Can't say I can remember pouring out any beers, but I did not like wild blue like others. I just drank the 6 pack I had and well did not mind them. Don't get me wrong I do not seek it out, but if it was all I had I would drink it.

I also was offered a heineken at a friends house recently. I used to always drink them, but man I had to ask myself now...is that really what I liked to drink years ago.

I guess my tastebuds have changed

 

[Apendecto]

I had a dragons milk at a local bar.. I had to literally chase each sip with soda to gag it down. I LOVE hoppy beers but this tasted infected. Was literally making me gag as a drank it. After 3/4 of a bottle my face and lips were literally numb. Several on here have sid how great it is so I have to assume I got a bad bottle but haven't had the nerve to try it again to fond out.

Hoppy? Maybe you got the wrong beer. Dragon's Milk is a barrel aged imp. stout.

 

[Apendecto]

Bud, then Red stripe. I'd rather be sick than drink either of those. I did also have a Dieu du Ciel Hibiscus wheat that I thought tasted like vomit, too. Plus, I really, really, REALLY hate sours. I even ended up trying to use a bottle of Petrus in a vinagrette as a salad dressing, and still couldn't stand it.

Hahahahaha!

 

[lsnadon]

Sam Adams Triple Bock. Hands down.

Yuk.

Now I put that one at the top of my list for best beers

 

[lsnadon]

boddington's draught. gagged on first drink, and on consecutive drinks. dumped the rest on the ground. couldn't contaminate the sewer with it

Another one on my good beer list

 

[lsnadon]

Sam Double Bock from their imperial series.

This one is a great beer as well

 

[lsnadon]

And the point I'm making, we all like something different (but there is indeed, some real swill out there - I've made some myself)

Triple bock was swill unless you managed to get one of the bottles that didn't turn to soy sauce.

Tie: Samuel Adams Summer Ale and Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat.

That Samuel Adams cherry wheat is just plain nasty!!!!!!!!

 

[Hastur]

I had to register just to add my two cents:

Cook's Light is the worst beer ever made. It was forged deep in the heart of Mt. Doom, its pale yellow color only hinting at the horrors within. The beeradvocate review isn't much nicer:

http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/410/40782

Even worse, I drank one warm. Any other beer, with any flavor at all doesn't even come close to the calamity in a can that is Cook's Light.

For some reason seeing the word calamity in print made me think of Clamato.....so anybdy ever try Bud Light with Clamato? Sounds gross

My worst experience in recent memory is with Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager.

It smells like cheese and it has a finish that tastes like fruity pebbles or Cap'n Crunch-crunch berry cereal.

Very artificial strawberry taste. Thankfully I only purchased one bottle but I still ended up dumping it.

 

[Fatcougar]

Worst ever was a bottle of Michelob that had been sitting under the rear window of a Mustang GT in the middle of summer. It was about 90 degrees, and tasted like rubbing alcohol... I suppose it wasn't the beers fault, but that has stuck in my beer memory permanantly. Yechhh!

 

[Dtroy17]

White frog ale, It has way to much going on with it, simple is better. Coriander, Chamomile, Cinnamon, Nutmeg and ginger in one beer no thanks

 

[LarryC]

Six pack of Iron City beer bought in Davis West Virginia. We'd been riding fire trails all day and sent a guy into town to get us some beer. He came back with the Iron City and after a few swallows each we threw it into the ditch & road home.

 

[JohnnyGunn]

Do they carry Lucky Lager in the US, or is it just us Canadians that get the honor of drinking that swill?!

 

[umopepisdn]

Natty ice. Tried it about three months ago out of morbid curiosity at a friend's house

If my tongue had a rape whistle it would have blown it

 

[jimmerz]

Iron city is not that bad... Maybe you have to be born in pittsburgh to enjoy it? lol

 

[WTF_Brewing]

Blue Moon Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale about 7 years ago was the only beer I have ever not been able to get down. My neighbor bought a 6 pack, tried one and brought the rest to me. I couldn't even drink one. I gave the other 4 to 4 seperate people and none got past the first sip. All I can figure is it was treated badly before I got it.

Runner up was the 2008 SN Celebration ale. I bought a case since I can't get it where I live and tried on 3 seperate occassions to drink it. None of my friends could drink it either. Made me sad cause I like most other SN offerings.

I know people bash BMC, but I think they have their place. I think there is a big difference between cheap beer and crap beer. If I go to someone's house and they offer me a Coors light, I wouldn't turn it down. It just tastes like water to me.
