Bleh! Why not just add ALL the hops... mixing noble hops and northwestern hops is like mixing Pepsi and Orange crush
 
I was recently in Tampa, and was looking for a local brew to try out. What I got was "Florida Ave." This abortion had to be the worst excuse for a brew I've ever tasted. No carbonation, thin and watery, no traces of any type of ingredients, with a subtle hint of copper. At first I thought it might have been just a bad apple, but after the first sip of the follow-up, I knew it was just god-awful.

Do not, repeat, DO NOT drink this beer.

I'm surprised I don't see Rinelander on here. Back in college early 90's we would scrape up $4.99 for a case of Rinelander in longneck bottles. I left some in the freezer by mistake one time, it never froze. I let it go for a week and still didn't freeze. Old Milwaukee would be my next worse ever.
 
Im sure a lot of people are going to disagree, but the worst beer BY FAR that i have ever had is the Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen

the rauchbier, which im pretty sure in english translates to "Sh*t Beer" was undrinkable for me. I never, ever, ever want to have a beer that tastes like im drinking a glazed summer ham with bacon infused into said ham. Gross.

Lol... I kinda like that one. It has loads of mouthfeel, and a lovely sweet smokiness. Much like drinking a honey roasted ham :mug:

I kept seeing this utter Crap sold and people were buying it so I said hey ill pick of a can of that paired with a can of genessee(sp?) And I may grab a buzz. Took two sips of dog bite and poured it out. Went right for a can of hop crisis. So good.

Well, I guess in some ways it is not the worst. To be the worst you have to have a bad flavor, and to have bad flavor, you have to have flavor. This beer is sort of like drinking a beer in that it has some carbonation, but that is where the parallels end. To reproduce this beer, purchase a bud light, pour out half and refill the rest with water.

Wow! That's like .25 lovibond. Sauvignon Blanc has more color.

It is like a black hole in reverse. Where a black whole is so full of anti matter, it creates a massively strong pull towards it's center and can never be filled. This beer has so little matter, or anything in it, it has a reverse gravitational affect pushing solid matter away. Well, at least that is my theory since every time I see it I automatically feel propelled in the opposite direction
 
I drank this stuff called White Rascal, its a Belgian White. Something about the yeast flavor and Coriander in some of those Belgians that is just nasty to me, uggh.

Seems like a waste to put that beer in a fancy, shapely glass like that. Its like a butherface. Nice transformer btw.
 
I think it was Sam Adams. It was called latitude 48. It was unbelievably disgusting. I didn't even finish the bottle out of the 6 pack.
 
Right now it's close. Either a Double IPA from a Massachusetts brewpub that will remain nameless. Full of Summit hops it smelled and tasted like that bag of onions you bought six months ago and just found in the bottom of the pantry, oozing and covered with mold. Then there is Brooklyn Concoction. I like many of Brooklyn beers and admire Garret Oliver but what were they thinking? This beer is like a schizophrenic cage death match. All kinds of powerful and not always pleasant flavors trying to beat each other into submission.
 
Michelob Ultra.....just about everything by Michelob is disgusting to me.
Also, I tried this weird looking beer called Roswell Alien Amber Ale I saw at the store one time. It tasted like watered down malt and nothing else. It was terrible

Ugh...I had Alien Amber also. My wife picked it out and it was terrible. That was the last time I told her to grab a 6 pack for me when she is at the store.
 
Natural Ice or Light.

As far as a micro it was Alpine Gold Blonde Ale by Tied House Brewing I got the beer from BevMo. I don't know what it was perhaps it got oxidized or sat around the store for a while, but it tasted like some one dry hopped hot dogs into it. I'm sure i'll try it again eventually, but hopefully it doesn't taste like a ball park beef frank.
 
While visiting a rather upscale restaurant in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan I had the grave misfortune of ordering a Hacker-Pschorr, Weisse, I think.

It was terrible. I remember clearly that it seemed that the yeast strain must have been the culprit. It tasted like a wit on steroids, but also sour, and with a strange off-lime aftertaste. I sent it back to the bar in favor of a Blue Moon so that I could clear my palette.

Hacker Pschorr Weisse is just a typical, tame hefe. You must have had a bad bottle or something, because your description is way off.

I'm still disturbed by this months later. By all rights it should have been an excellent beer. It was draught, so possibly improper storage??

Ah... I bet their beer lines need serious cleaning.
