The sad thing about BudMillCoors is that the brewers are very, very good at what they do. The could make great beers; but because of the market, they make rivers of weak, piss water. Sometimes they do make a good beer. AB makes (or did make) a speciality beer called Anheuser World Select. It was an honest-to-god all malt Pils. And it was good. The only place I ever saw it was on tap at Clementines. But they don’t seem to carry it any longer.
Geez, my last post was screwed up. Not only did I mangle the coding, but I had read mojave66’s post as describing micros rather than macros. I happen to fully agree and offer my apologies for wasting bandwidth. :smack:
Rauchbeir, though I’m willing to try again if anyone has a favourite.
In reverse order:
World Select is still available in bottles at Bevmo, or it was the last time I looked. I used it to wean my wife off of Bud Light and onto real beer.
Bigfoot…yum. Delicious on tap, but a pint will put you under if you’re not careful.
I have to admit…sometimes I will buy Busch because of the corn. It’s not great beer, but it brings back fond memories of happy times.
August, I feel your pain. Try judging homebrews at a major contest some time. The flavors range from absolutely dead-on the profile to “I regret to inform you that your yak has a kidney condition.” (There is actually a rule now at several competitions that prohibits me from saying that on a judging sheet anymore!) As for mild rauchbiers…I think mine was a smoked porter. Just enough smoke to notice, without being over-powering.
Beer I can’t stand? That would be any.
It all tastes like they ought to pour it back inside the horse.
Yeah for a while I was afraid they were going to get rid of Michelob Light in exchange for Ultra. I had Ultra once, I think even bought a 12 pack. 
The thing about Newcastle is that it has 2 personalities: from a bottle, it tastes a little like #1 diesel oil; on draft it is a lovely brew.
I just plain don’t like wheat beers.
Bud Light
Corona
Amstel Light
Heineken (is it sposed to taste skunky)
Yeah, I think it’s supposed to taste like that, although from all accounts draft Heinie in the Netherlands tastes much different (perhaps it is an entirely different brew?). I never liked Heineken either, even when I was young and didn’t know what good beer was supposed to taste like. I’ll drink a Bud Light any day over a Heineken, given a choice.
I don’t like India pale ales. I don’t see how anyone can handle the bitterness.

I accidentally ordered a Purple Haze on tap the other night, thinking I was asking for Hazed and Infused. God, that stuff was bad. Raspberries (or any other fruit) does not belong in beer. BTW, Rolling Rock is my everyday beer. Its not quite as good since they started brewing it in Newark, NJ but I still like it. Sue me.
Now if you want a really bad beer get yourself a Piels. At least as it was brewed in the 70s.
Yeah, not a big fan of them either but they are extremely popular here. We went to a beer holiday exchange party and were the only couple who did not bring an ale.
This may be a zombie thread, but it’s still a fun read. I’ve got to admit, I’m in complete agreement with those that dislike dark, heavy brews. Once I celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with a true son of Eire. It was Guiness & Jameson’s all night long. The next day was horrible. Never again.
I find the MGD comments interesting. 20 years ago, I delivered beer for a living. One place had “MGD Night” and often we were a keg or two short to make the order. What we’d do is swap caps at the warehouse so kegs of regular Miller magically became MGD. Nobody ever noticed. A few of us beermen tried a blind taste test once between MGD and regular Miller. None of us could tell the difference. Maybe things have changed, but it seems to me MGD is just clever marketing.
A lot of folks don’t care for Iron City. However, if you go to a place that has it on tap and has nice clean tap lines, it’s a completely different experience and rivals any other beer I’ve had. Of course, this was back when they still brewed it here in Pittsburgh. I haven’t had it since the old brewery on Liberty Ave closed down.

It’s ALIVE! So I’ll post, too. 
I used to drink Heineken in college all the time (mid 90’s) and thought it was great. Now I can’t seem to get one that isn’t skunky. Did I change or the beer?
I love wheat beers, unlike many of you. Hacker Pschor from a tap is transcendent.
I can’t stand Sam Adams Boston Lager. It tastes like bile to me. My buddy gave me one on New Years eve after I was pretty drunk and I still couldn’t drink a full bottle. But Sam Adams also makes an Octoberfest beer that is amazing.
But I always pass up anything by AB. Bud, Bud Lite, Busch, etc… They all give me a horrible case of the farts. I don’t know what it is, but it only happens with AB beers.
Then you won’t want to hear about the case of bombers of Double Bastard Ale I just bought. The IBUs in that brew are classified, but are rumored to be in quadruple digits.
I can’t get into barleywine at all. I’ve tried and tried and tried, thinking I’d eventually find one that was at least palatable to me, but I’ve given up and come to the conclusion that I just plain don’t like 'em. Too rich, too sweet, too malty, too heavy, too cloying. Just too much for my taste buds I suppose.
Wait, I didn’t notice this from when it was posted years back. Isn’t “wet cardboard” indicative of oxidized beer? That’s a separate off-flavor from skunking which, well, smells like skunk. I’ve tasted both off-tastes in beers, and they’re distinct.
They usually go together. But yes, I mistyped that.
