I'll admit I'd probably like that beer as I like fruit stouts - Bells Cherry Stout, Dark Horse Tres (blueberry stout) and Saugatuck Neopolitan Stout (strawberry/chocolate/vanilla) are among my favorite beers.
My least favorite beers are any of the fizzy yellow lagers out there, though my lowest ever rating of 0.5 on Rate Beer was for Pigs Eye Lean. That was just utter garbage.0 -
Fruit ales are terrible.. like Sam Adams Strawberry Ale.
I also had one by Tommy Knocker that was called Butthead or something?? I couldn't give that one away.0 -

I agree that most fruit ales are absolutely disgusting. It is like a wine cooler and a beer had an awkward child...I had this one beer a few years ago that was supposed to be blackberry flavored...the horror is still fresh in my mind. I do have one exception to this, and that is Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, which I have been known to drink occasionally.0 -
Lol, well as a homebrewer I can say that I've made some absolutely nasty beers, but they've all been the result of an infection, usually something that eats lactose... My first attempt at my Hazelnut Coffee Stout, as well as my first "Poopy Diaper Ale" Cream Stout were undrinkable. I had to dump 2 cases of beer!
However my worse commercial beer is probably Crabbie's "Original Alcoholic Ginger Beer" - it was ridiculously sweet and just... ...gross. Even my wife had to chase it down with a Coors... lol!!!0 -

Generally, I am inclined to agree, however, Samuel Smith's Strawberry Ale is great (one at a time,) and a local brewery, EBC, has a bluberry wheat that is an AMAZING breakfast beer.0 -
Heading to Great Lakes next weekend - will be sure to steer clear of the Alberta Clipper.
I think the one I hated the most was Southern Tier Live. Smelled like cat pee, and tasted worse...0 -
Had a nasty one last night. Mikkeler Monk's Brew which was described as a belgian ale brewed with raspberries in wine casks I believe. It looked like some of the fluids I have seen on the job (I'm a nurse) and was just sour and highly unpleasant. And the bottle cost me $15!0

Worst beer--most anything by Shipyard. Just a terrible brewery. We generally replace the "p" in Shipyard with a "t". The yeast strain they use-- Ringwood is prone to producing buttery flavors and such although some breweries use ringwood and their beers are decent IMO--e.g. Dogfish Head.0

While I am a fan of almost everything else Rogue does (especially Dead Guy) I humbly submit Rogue Brewery Yellow Snow IPA. Named perfectly...0

Last night I tried Cave Creek Chili Beer. By far the worst beer I have ever had :grumble: :grumble:0

It's a tie.

DUDE!!! I had the Chili Beer on Saturday night. It was vile. A gift from my wife, she put it in a pick-a-6 pack, knowing I like spicy food. I was nice so drank half, but couldn't finish it. Started getting a stomach ache. It's like a bad batch of Corona, so they shoved a chili in there to try and make some money off it. Disgusting.0 -

This is my all time worst as well. Second worst is probably Corona Light.0 -
I have to agree that fruit beers are the worst, although I brew an Apple Cinnamon wheat. The flavors are so light, you can't tell. And it's a crowd pleaser to the point of a local brewery owner wants me to brew it there. I won't, cause he wants it for free, so he can make money. Sorry dude, nothing comes free, and you just lost ALL of your good brewers, so i don't see your business lasting long.
Anyways, my worst beer would be "Wild Blue", if you can even call it a beer. Talk about sickening (cloyingly) sweet, this thing was pure sugar. UGH.0 -
My dad (mid 70s) loves that beer! I do not understand it. He also likes Key Lime Wine which is like a really really sweet Boone's Farm.0

It's a tie between Shipyard's Applehead and Sam Adam's Cherry Wheat. I like many fruit beers but these two just don't do it for me.0

I could only get half a bottle down and then I threw in the towel. I even tried adding a lime after the first disgustingly bad sip, didn't help much. Now I am kinda upset because I have 5 more of these things in my fridge. I'm trying to pawn them off on friends when I have people over. It's a slooow process. This is by far the longest a beer has EVER sat in my fridge. :grumble: :grumble:0 -

When my friends and I come across a crappy beer, we keep it for a major sporting event and make prop bets where the loser has to drink the bad beer. It's a fun way to rid yourself of the swill.0 -

Gotta agree with purple haze, all I could taste was straight vomit. Too much butyric acid from firmentation. Crazy thing is, a cajun co-worker says he loves the stuff.0 -
hmm, I usually like the fruity ones, but I can see that.0

Some are good, I love a hefeweizen. But if the aftertaste is to prominent it doesn't suit my palate. Although I've been told putting a little fresh fruit like an orange slice kills that flavor that fruity beers are notorious for. Apparently this is very common in Euirope and I'm not sure if it's esters or butyric but will have to try it sometime.0 -

Hefeweizen. Dunkelweizen. Us Germans brew some kickass beers!
My sister mixes the Sam Adams Cherry Wheat with some Woodchuck Hard Cider and that actually takes some of the weird fruitiness away.0 -
The worst beer I've ever tasted was the Well's Banana Bread beer. I couldn't handle more than one sip before giving it to a friend to finish.
A close runner-up is a Jalapeno beer that is brewed by a small brewpub in Columbia, MO. I got it for free when they accidentally made an extra. If I remember correctly, the description was "liquid enchilada".0
