I wouldn't say it is the worts craft beer by any means, but Lagunitas Daytime IPA.
I honestly don't see how this gets such high ratings.
It is way out of balance, you might as well just make "hop water".
Founders All Day is multiples better than this in my opinion.
I don't believe making a light ABV IPA is simply cutting the grain bill down and keep the hops the same. That is what this beer is to me.

There's a difference between the normal session IPAs and these new low cal ones. A bunch of breweries are doing them, and I think they are trying to cross into the hard Seltzer but still beer territory.
None of them are very good.
I'd rather have a salad with a good beer than a burger with a crappy beer.
 
This beer seems to have a unique cache as the one that absolutely demolishes college kids. I think they even marketed off of this a while back - "everyone has a Golden Monkey story."

Also, the worst craft beer was Rogue/Voodoo Maple Bacon Ale, referred to on BA as "The Pink Death."
 
I've only had 2 beers in my lifetime I could not drink. One was a six pack of Olympia I picked up for a canoe trip. Stuff went bad or something. Could not drink it. When you pour out the only beer you got on a float trip, you know it's pretty damn horrible. The other was a beer I got at the Ginger Man near Rice University in Houston, TX some years ago. It was called "Old Fogcutter". The barmaid noticed I had stopped drinking when I got it and she asked what was wrong. I told her it was gonna take me a while to get past this one. She tasted it and went and poured it out and did not charge me for it - seriously endearing herself to me in the process. Her tip was appropriate.
I've never found it again (thank goodness). I've seen a double IPA called Fogcutter online. This was no IPA. It was sickly sweet and syrupy with an after-taste like burnt brussels sprouts. If she hadn't taken pity on me I might still be sitting there staring forlornly at that glass.
