Wait now. Rolling Rock is WAY superior to Coors & Shlitz, which, although malt liquor, can certainly gain honorable mention, along with Olde English & the worst malt liquor known to men (mostly of the homeless variety): Steel Reserve 211. ---

Well Blatz might not taste the worst going down (it’s still pretty bad) but the bone crushing hangovers it causes propel it right to the top of the list. ---

Genessee Ice. I asked our distributor (where one goes to buy beer in PA) for a cheap beer to drink during our annual St. Patrick’s Day parade. He pointed to the Genee Ice. I asked how it tasted. He said “After the first one, you’re not gonna care about the taste.” Fortunately, he was right. ---

Was anyone unfortunate enough to ever get a sip of Hop ‘N’ Gator? It always amazed a group of marketing folks, taste testers, and people’s whose salaries were presumably on the line launched a gatorade/beer amalgam. Did anyone that drank any survive? ---

BUD E!!! No!!! I had a similar situation to the OP with that beer. The club literally had 100 cases & begged us to take some home. Needless to say, we turned it down after each trying a sip. It tastes like what I think death might taste like. ---

Free cans of Coors Light?! Gee, they shouldn’t have. Really. It reminds me of a gag that Letterman used to do, where lucky contestants won a carton of menthol cigarettes. Bleah. ---

I’m a Coors Light can drinker when I drink beer and if you get used to it, it’s not that bad. I actually prefer it in the can over the bottle. But once, I was on a plane and wanted a beer and they didn’t have Coors Light so I ordered a regular Coors. It was awful. Couldn’t drink it. Also, when you’re used to Coors Light, Miller Lite is pretty good, but Bud Light tastes really bad. ---

I came in here to mention Michelob Ultra, and I can’t believe I’m the first. I am a major lightweight, and Michelob Light is my favorite beer, but the Ultra? Unbelievable. ---

Coors is a pretty easy target, but Heilman’s Old Style and Carling Black Label are both slightly more noxious, in my opinion. Do they still make either of those? Bleargh. ---

Coors light in a can is pretty bad (granted, in a bottle isn’t much good either, but it is a little better.) But this evening I had officially the worst beer I have ever had. The culprit? My normally good friend, a Mr. Sam Adams. I bought a holiday gift pack, with a few different types of beers. The first one I cracked open was a cranberry lambic. Gah!!! Please Lord, is it suppossed ot taste like this? It didn’t taste so much like beer as it did taste like I drank a lot of cape codders, vomited them up, mixed that with skunned, cheap beer, then drank said cape codder vomit+skunned beer combo. ---

> [@bouv](#): > > The first one I cracked open was a cranberry lambic. Oh, if we’re counting seasonal novelties, then I nominate a Canadian champion: Lions Winter Ale, from the otherwise faultless Granville Island Brewing Co. This is also bundled in “holiday packs,” lurking amongst the potables. I cracked one of those boys open, and the appellation led me to expect something along the lines of a festbock – something with some fortitude, and _possibly_ a subtle spice or coffee finish. What to say about Lions Winter Ale? How to describe it? The signature flavour is vanilla. It’s inadequate to say this, though, because most people have a pleasant conception of vanilla. This wasn’t a light french cream flavour. Oh no. It was a horrible, cloying vanilla that coated your palate and wouldn’t let go. It wasn’t a _food_ vanilla – it was more like rubbing vanilla-scented cosmetic products on your tongue. Take soda water, half a bottle of vanilla extract, liquid detergent, and a random assortment of herbal teas, blend and chill, and you’ve got a rough approximation of Lions Winter Ale. My girlfriend did a bit better with hers – she finished almost half. They both went down the sink. I’ll tell ya – the Honey Brown Ale (which I’ve never been particularly fond of) that erased the lingering traces of that travesty never tasted so good. ---

When I was in college, we could get a case of [Rhinelander](http://www.huberbrewery.com/beer/rhinelander.shtml) (bottles) for $3. It was absolute shit, but too good a deal for poor, idiotic college students to pass up. More than any beer I’ve ever had, this one caused flatulence in the extreme. Not normal flatulence either…think WMD. I now see that they’re making Rhinelander Light. ::shudder:: If Rhinelander wasn’t bad enough, the good folks at Huber added just slightly more pee to their normal batch of Rhinelander to make the somewhat improved Huber. Same price, less farting. At least they were proud enough of this one to put their name on it. Lastly, we come to Brau Meister. Not to be confused with Meister Brau, which for the purposes of this thread, is pretty damn good. Of course, Brau Meister is another concoction from Huber. Since it doesn’t appear to be in their product line anymore, I assume that the federal government has finally stepped in. The only thing I can say about this one is that if you’re going to make a beer this shitty, do not put it in clear bottles. It just makes it easier for us to see the shit floating around in there.
