    Schlafly Pumpkin Ale. Tasted like I was ingesting a melted candle. I typically never order stuff like that, I don't know why I did. I typically enjoy Schlafly though. The bartender kept trying to make me order a new one, but I said I was finishing it, I'm tough. He said I know you are tough, but I would be happy to get you a new one. I said, no, dammit, it has alcohol, I'll finish it. Grossest. Beer. Ever. Besides anything from the big three...

    On a side note, on Sunday morning I was at the alehouse for beer and $3 Bloody Mary's...doing the Sunday crossword. The new bartender said he thought I was a secret assassin...what?

    WUT!? That's my favorite pumpkin beer this season. I think it's awesome. Not super sweet like a lot of pumpkin beers but you can really taste the pumpkin. I think maybe you just don't like pumpkin beers. I've only heard good things from other people too.

    I don't like pumpkin beers, it was just an impulse order. I typically drink pales or ipas, I just got a hair up my *kitten*... When the bartender asked if I like it and I said it was the worst beer I've had, he had said how it was his fave pumpkin one too...

    That's surprising. Schlafly makes my favorite pumpkin ale and I'm not alone. Currently ranked as #3 in the world: http://beeradvocate.com/lists/style/72

    Maybe you got a bad bottle/keg or something? Do you like other pumpkin ales?

    I'm not saying it isn't a GOOD beer, I just personally thought it was the worst I have had...and no, I don't like pumpkin beers or any other spiced beers...it was just an impulse. That I regretted! I am not a fan of most Belgians but I try them over and over and usually dislike them but never as intensely as that one!

    See, there is no need for Murder...We should be consoling each other for both our teams and their early playoff exits...Plus we beat the Rangers

    <- Red Sox fan

    *skips away gleefully with a Guinness and a smoking gun*

    I hate the Red Sox, but I want you guys to beat the Tigers since we couldn't.

    If you hand me a beer, I AM going to drink it. While I chose not to purchase macro brews for myself, if that is all that is at a party, I will drink it. While the style may not be my preferred style, Bud et al are very good at turning out a consistent product (aimed, apparently, at a large segment of the market with no taste buds).

    But, with that said, the worst beer I've drunk would be:

    (a) Any pumpkin ale. In fact, just about any vegetable beer at all. And I've judged some "good" ones at homebrew comps - I just hate them!

    (b) A good beer on a bad tap, or otherwise spoiled through bad cellarmanship. You know, when you sit down at the bar, order what you know to be an excellent beer, and it just tastes... off. So disappointing.

    (c) Some of my own homebrew. Most of what I make is very good, but everyone has a bad day! An infection with a lactic acid-producing bacteria can ruin a great batch! I've only had to dump two down the drain though.


    I do also want to point out that the colour of a beer is not necessarily an indication of it's flavour. Yes, Guinness is dark and so is Murphy's. But not all dark beers are roasty stouts. It could be a more subtle porter, or a creamy mild. You could even order a black/cascadian IPA - black and hoppy, and surely not a stout.

    I thoroughly dislike anything hopsey...Yuck!

    My absolute forever-and-always Faaaavorite is Seven-Tier Double Chocolate Stout. It tastes like an alcoholic chocolate truffle. Yum. <3

    Almost every pumpkin beer I have had goes WAY overboard with the allspice and it makes me want to spit it out...

    I'd say Miller Light. It has a nasty after-taste that lingers on and on...:sick:

    The worst beer I've ever had would be NO BEER AT ALL!!
    Actually, the worst beer ever is called VOODOO Donut Maple Bacon beer. Sounds amazeballs, tastes like balls. The large pink bottle drew me in. The $9.95 per beer price told me it was a bad idea. I bought that **** anyways. GROOOOOOOOSSSS

    when I was a teenager we would buy $5 40s of disgusting Olde English and drink it in the park :drinker:

    just kidding! that would be illegal... :smile:

    You paid $5 for 40 oz-ers when you were a kid? They don't cost that much today. I paid for O.E. in college and it was $1.99.

    I know this will draw some hate, but here goes. Worst beer ever: Blue Moon.

    Alright, worst beer for what people say passes for good. I hate anything pumpkin, or anything so gimmicky (fruity, spicy, sweet, etc.) that it starts to not taste like beer.

    It tastes nothing like donuts. Or beer. Or maple. Or bacon. What it DOES taste like is and old half empty being used as an ashtray.

    Phew. Ok, I think that made it so I don't feel so compelled to have a little sippy of it now. Thanks.

    ...in the old days, we use to try the generic "beer" - literally, that's what the label said "beer".

    Could not get that stuff cold enough to drink...

    Holy crap, I remember that! White label with clck lettering.
