Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

[CGVT]

So... you're saying that you don't care for them?

Still the worst is Blue Moon Cinnamon Horchata. The marketing executive who "designed" this beer should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity. Cinnamon camouflaging old diapers is not a desirable flavor in any beer.

Haha my wife thought it sounded good and wanted to try it. 2 years later it's still in the fridge (minus the 1 bottle i swirled; foul). Thanks for the reminder i need to toss the rest of that trash.

I am going to have to try the Guinness IPA and judge for myself (and only for myself).

I didn't think it was horrible, but I wouldn't buy it again. I'm not a big fan of nitro in general!

Some beer that I had in Dallas Texas - It tasted like it was brewed with beef bullion. I don't remember the name.

 

[EtchyLives]

Have to agree. When camping we have a strange beer night. That was my choice. I think I'm the all time grand champion.

Yes. The watermelon Dorado is simply terrible. The watermelon flavor tastes like watermelon vape fluid smells to the non-vaper. Did not finish it. It made me sad because I like a lot of Ballast Point beers. Not representative of the rest of the brand.

Had a Tank 7 for the first time in a few years. Really rough, medicinal ester profile and some muted hops. Tasted like bad homebrew. I also don't know how the can call it a farmhouse beer when it's fermented with westmalle.

Tank 7 is delicious. You should schedule an appointment with your doctor as soon as is convenient to see about adjusting your meds.

I also enjoy Tank 7. I remember the first time I tried it and how impressed I was. To each his own for sure!

I said it about 2000 posts ago and I think it is worth saying again. Nothing is worse than that nasty, Fruity Pebbles tasting, Leinenkugal's Sunset Wheat.

That **** should be buried under big rock never again to see the light of day.

Like Guinness but was not a fan of this one. Probably only time a 6 pack has lated more than a month in my beer fridge.

Flying Monkeys 'Mythology'. I really enjoy some of their beers, but this one is absolutely horrendous!

That sounds like autolysis flavor. I recently had a NC Brother Theloneous that was like drinking beef soup. Really disappointed by that.

Could have been autolysis.... It was nasty...

Yeah I remember liking it the first time as well. I think I've just had too many great saisons since then, and when I go in thinking farmhouse ale and taste big Trappist esters it just throws my tastebuds off.

It also just tasted like it was fermented too hot. Kind of a mess of flavors.

I love root beer so on first sip of not your fathers I was pretty impressed. Then I got deeper into the bottle and the medicinal/artificial sweetener taste was to much. I used the rest for root beer floats. Not to bad.

Worst I cant remember if it was Crime or Punishment by Stone. But it was horrible. Way to much chilli pepper. This had to have been brewed as a joke.

 

[davidst]

Yeah I think not your fathers is pretty gross, my wife loves root beer and she couldn't drink these.

Maybe you caught a bad batch? Tank 7 is the shiz.

You spelled "Berry Weiss" wrong. That stuff takes the cake...beer Kool-aid.

Not that that Sunset Wheat is good though, not by a long stretch.

Guinness nitro IPA. I'd honestly rather have a 40 of malt liquor. It was just terrible, and I'm pretty good at appreciating beers even if they're not my preference. I just couldn't wrap my head around why anyone would like it. It tastes like crystal light powdered iced tea.

You're not alone. I've never dumped a beer that I purchased in my life until I tried that. I even tried hard to like it and drink it and couldn't make it past 1/3 glass.

I also hated Watermelon Dorado to the point where I'm scared to try some of their other "flavored" IPA's. Tastes like straight up syrup/extract artificial flavoring. Wouldn't have been AS bad if the beer weren't 10% ABV, the large alcohol taste paired with it is a recipe for disaster. Like mixing sweet mixers with vodka.

The pineapple sculpin is good, not nearly as good as grapefruit though, That's great.

Recently I would have to say both Oculto, a tequila flavored malt liquor beer. And the "Not your fathers rootbeer". I am also one to appreciate a beer if its not my flavor. But damn. The Oculto was pretty rough for me but the rootbeer beer was flat out disgusting. Chocked down hald the Oculto and 2 drinks outta the Fathers and the rest went into the pig bucket!

 

[jschein]

Pretty bad aye? I always see those cans and feel like I need to at least try it... for good measure. Instead, I always walk away. Something about Guinness and IPA just doesn't jive in my brain. Are they importing water to make it?

No need to try it, it really does suck. It did't jive for me either but I went for it. My son an I opened a can each poured it in the pint glasses, took a swig and spit it out at the same time. The other 4 cans are sitting out in the shed.

Sometimes I wonder what the "big name" light beers and those "ice" beers compare to our basic lager/cheap mass swill.

Anyone who had both basic eurobeer (heineken, but not the crap export stuff or maybe one of the basic german ones such as bitburger) and the US basic ones who can compare?

 

[beskone]

Had a bottle of new Belgium Ranger that was super nasty. It tasted like wet socks. Or rather it tasted like wet socks smell because I've never tasted wet socks. Probably just a skunked bottle but I've never been able to buy Ranger again.

Try it again, check the date to make sure you get a fresh one. Ranger is one of my go-to summer IPA, they are extra delicious.

I had the hoppy blonde and it too was reminiscent of feet. I was not pleased.

Funny how taste differ so much. I think Hoppy Blonde is very enjoyable.

To each his own. That's what makes this thread so interesting. Nobody is right or wrong.

I don't know that it's the worst commercial beer I've ever had, buy maybe the most disappointing for me was Mango Magnifico from Founders. I've wanted to try it for awhile and just recently the local liquor store got some bombers in. I snagged one right away, rushed home (not really, but it sounds better that way) and tried it. It was just way too sweet. Over the top mango. A nice habanero heat at the end, but I couldn't even finish the bomber because it was so sweet. I can see why others would like it, but it wasn't for me.

 

[cyanmonkey]

Only one I ever dumped was Sapporo Stone Warrior. My Brother-in-law gave it to me because he didn't like it and Jesus Christ it tasted like a band aid.

If I had to guess the bottles were infected, but I took two sips and pitched the rest out the window.

Back in college we drank
Goebel beer, because we got it cheap.
We did not want to admit it was cheap swill so we told everybody it was "Zhobell" and passed it off as fancy French beer from Strohs!

Ha! Reminds me of Huber. That nasty wax coated box that probably tasted better than the beer.
