The OP mentions something about the taste of cat piss? By any chance did he not clean off the top of the can that had been sitting who knows where for who knows how long? ---

I’ve not read this thread, but then, I don’t need to read it: all I need to do is search for the word “Zima,” find that it’s not here, and berate all of you for laxity. You know that water that you put in a vase of waters, and how it smells after a week of having flowers in it? If you carbonate it and add several packets of Sweet ‘n’ Low, it’ll still taste better than Zima. Daniel ---

The worst beer in all of Christiandom is, in fact, Corona Light. It isn’t that it’s worse than the standard frat party light macrobrews, though it isn’t any better. The problem is that it’s just as bad, and yet they charge import prices for it. True story: in my undergrad days, my roommates and I were throwing one of our legendary parties. We told people in advance that we were going to have a keg of Old Milwaukee, a beer that had gained a special place in our hearts that year because it came in returnable bottles that we could use for our homebrew, and more importantly, because it was cheap and it kept us from the horrors of sobriety. People, of course, scoffed openly at the suggestion, and most said they wouldn’t be putting in on the keg. So after we got it, we threw away the keg cap, wrote “Bud Light” on the top of the keg with a Sharpie, and told people we’d changed our minds. The keg was drained, and not a word was said. ---

MGD is _horrible_! Coors Light is tolerable, as **Pundit Lisa** says, because it pretty much tastes like water. Not what I want my beer to taste like, but not offensive, IMO. Oh, and I _like_ Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic. ---

> [@ombre3](#): > > Anyway, back then I was told that Coors was special among American beers because it was not pasteurized and therefore had to be and always was kept refrigerated. Thereby the reason for only a local market--------in Texas I think or someplace pretty close to Texas. It’s brewed in Golden, CO and another brewery in the South somewhere. the Colorado brewery is the original one. See my above comment on the “Rocky Mountain Water.” ---

I have a bottle of Romulan Ale. It’s bright blue. The owner of the store where we bought it warned us against drinking it. We assured him, it’s for show only. ---

Coors lite in a can, well I have noticed a large variation in the taste, from beer to carbonated water w/ a touch of cat urine. Nati-lite is not bad if that’s all what you have. Any ice beer, as stated after the 1st one, it doesn’t matter. ---

> [@Plynck](#): > > Finding fault with the bargain brews is like shooting fish in a barrel (probably becauses that’s what they taste like). It’s the nationally available brands that deserve our scorn. Uh! There’s a reminder: Never drink any beer that’s named after a fish. I’m looking at you, Kokanee. (Not a “bargain” beer, but with distribution limited to the Pacific Northwest and environs.) I would drink Coors before swallowing Kokanee. The people who operate that brewery ought to have their citizenship revoked. It tastes of cornmeal, and is an inexplicably popular tipple. ---

I just remembered Luck Lager. I wish I hadn’t. How bout some swill with pointless, poorly drawn riddles under the cap? Brilliance. It’s no Coors. Nor Bud E. Nor (and yes, we forgot) Zima. Those are all in a special category, relegated to the 10th sphere of beer hell. ---

Coors Light in a can is definitely not good. My g/f and I had this very conversation recently. Either our own tastes have improved over the years, or Coors Light has easily gone downhill in the quality department. I’m thinking it’s the latter though, because our own tastes haven’t changed the fact that we think Busch Light in a can is remarkably worse than Coors Light in a can. I can’t see or believe that anyone has mentioned it though… ??? ---

However, if we’re going to slide on over to that area of nastiness, I can tell you without a doubt that the worst malt beverage ever made is Champale. Bar none. And appropriately enough, that brand name (after changing hands several times) ended up at Pabst Brewing Company, brewers of some more of the worse swill made in this country (Pabst Blue Ribbon, Schlitz, Blatz, Olympia and plenty of others). ---
