[sav]

Sav




TUSKA is ****

Corona, with a slice of lime and chilli on a 45 degree day is more appealing to me than a double IPA on said day.

IMHO most beers have their place and beers like VB etc (no matter how much the brewing/craft beer community dislike them and deride the as mega swill) are actually good examples of what they profess to be, an easy drinking beer for the masses that is re-produceable. Would I buy a box? No. Would I drink one if someone offered me one? Yes.

Just my opinion. Fire away all those who wish.

couldn't agree more mate. the worst beer i've had was my very own first homebrewed coopers "lager". fecking awful. corona on a hot day is perfect though. it's not there to blow my taste buds away with 300ibu or be as diverse in taste as a stout...just quench my thirst.

My rule is to not drink beer from clear bottles

Its a sound rule.

What?

Its ****..

My rule is to not drink beer from clear bottles

Old speckled hen also comes in clear bottles and is a fine beer.

 

[calobes]

Hammer n tongs..... tastes like a bartender collected all the dregs left in schooners on a friday night and bottled it.

XXXX is my lowest rating beer on Untappd with half a star and the only beer that is sitting on half a star. Just a complete lack of anything and being only 3.5% means that you don't even have the booze profile to hang on to.

From memory I recall Carlton Cold being the worse beer I have ever had though. Along with the 3.5% Forsters they sell in England.

We must have the same taste buds, I'd agree with all of this, except the fosters part, had it in England only and my taste buds were demolished by the time fosters were had, so I'm not sure of its taste.

My brother-in-law is a tight-arse when it comes to spending money on grog. We had his family over for dinner last night and he had a six pack of "Tun Bitter" with him.

He turned his nose up at my AG amber ale (not drinking homebrew crap he said!) and was merrily chugging down cans of this stuff so I had to have a try.

Easily the worst beer I have ever had the misfortune of tasting. It literally smelled of sweaty gym socks and tasted no better. Harsh, chemical twang to it, insipid and watery and a disgusting aftertaste. I had to switch to the Johnnie Walker Black Label just to wash the taste out of my mouth.

Interestingly it seems it's made in the US for the Australian market.

Drinking one now at a mate's 30th. Generally unfussy when it comes to free beer at a mate's - happily drink mb, vb, xxxx, whatever but this is like glue in a can. He has 2 fridges full - might need to buy some whisky.

 

[CrookedFingers]

Hahaha.
I am going to have to buy one of these Tun Bitters to see what all the hype is about !
I do love a good challenge !!

 

[poggor]

Hahaha I haven't had the pleasure of Tun Bitter. WTF?!
But I'd have to agree with Carlton Cold (and XXXX and TED) as worst beers ever sold. So watery.

Corona on the other hand I think is a great beer on a hot day.

 

[pickledherring]

Tun Bitter is a must-try beer. For all the wrong reasons, but still a must-try. Drink it long enough, and you just may develop a taste for it (like I did). I took 3 cartons over a few months to get used to it. Occasionally I find myself thirsty for a tin of this river swill. It might say a lot about it, but I actually tastes loads better warm. Still bad but better than chilled.

 

[danestead]

Haha i can't believe that Carlton Dry hasn't been mentioned, this and Ted's both taste like absolute crap, liquified plastic!

Yep, I reluctantly had one of these at a bucks party yesterday. It reminds me of why I bag the **** out of all that megaswill rubbish they pump out. Not enjoyable in the slightest.

 

[Mr. No-Tip]

I ended up trying about four Icelandic light beers due to their strange liquor availability. They all tasted exactly the same. Like 50% watered down Carlton dry!

You poor bar steward. That might just be the worst beer in the world...

But then there's John Smiths Smooth. Utter crap.

 

[yum beer]

Brought a Tun bitter and a Tun lite...I think that what it is.....about 18 months ago.
Had the bitter and removed the lite from the fridge, I think its still in the back of the bar somewhere amongst the collection of leftover 6 packs and unwanted party left overs.

 

[MrChoat]

Tun light isn't actually undrinkable. Its similar in taste to watered down carlton cold. Not undrinkable in itself but only if you're desperate.

As for worst beer I've ever had. About a year ago at Mount Tambourine brewery. I can't remember the name of the unholy creation. It was a red looking beer with hints of goose down and bat ****, that sat heavy and each mouthful was like trying to scull golden fleece grease. Couldn't finish it, not even to wash down my burger. I don't go to that brewery anymore.

 

[CrookedFingers]

Haha.
I thought goose down and bat **** would have gone well together !!

[luggy]

One of the worst I had was the aldi rip off of james boags, might as well have eaten the cardboard the six pack came in

 

[Cervantes]

Swan Gold

 

[Trevandjo]

Swan Gold

Many years ago I was in a pub in Freeo on a Friday arvo. 4 blokes walked in. One said "I'll get the first shout" the proceeded to order 4 Swan Gold shandys.
No doubt his mates would have been impressed.

 

[Spohaw]

Mikkeller Spontankriek ..... should be called spew creek imo


stuff tastes like some one got some cat piss and soak an old sock in it before bottling ........ don't know where the cherry flavour went .....

used it to marinate some mussels in with some white wine vinegar .....mussels where great though

 

[philmud]

Tooheys Blue.

 

[nvs-brews]

St Peter's have a good amount of **** beer... some are decent but from memory avoid these...
i even tipped a couple of them...

ohhh and this rates high on the ****-o-meter

let me put it this way, i can get a carton of this for $25 hahaha

 

[shaunous]

Tooheys Blue.

I didn't think it was all that bad, tasteless = yes, terrible = nah.

Well I'll throw my opinion in... though I'm well aware they are like arseholes

Whilst living in NYC for a few years I would have a couple of magic hat #9 pints a week during the warm seasons and enjoyed them very much.

Also, my missus loves Yum Cha (which I'm a bit so so about) but when we go, the couple of bottles of Tsing Tao we usually have go really well with the dumplings and sticky chinese food.

The worst... I think I've had a couple that would all sit at about the same rating for me but in general I cannot drink anything from Lion Nathan's mainstream stable. On the other hand if I have to buy a lawnmower beer for whatever reason, I'll quite happily reach for most things from CUB.

Not sure why this is. Used to think it was the hop schedule/varieties preferred by Lion Nathan but now I know they all pretty much use the same (i.e. POR).

my 2c... for what its worth.

So the worse beer you've tried is anything by lion Nathan breweries ?

I'd say the main difference would be the yeast used, so perhaps you're more not liking the fermentation profile.

 

[Ces]

If you would like me to be specific.... if i can help it, not a drop of Tooheys New will ever pass my lips again. I concede that most would agree that there isn't much difference between most of the Aussie megaswill lagers (e.g. Tooheys New and VB), its just that for some reason I dont like Lion Nathan's flagship Aussie brews.

I'd say the main difference would be the yeast used, so perhaps you're more not liking the fermentation profile.

Thanks, mate. I had always assumed they would both use the 'cleanest' yeast possible but you are probably right on this. Never considered it.

 

[TheWiggman]

Worst I've ever tasted was a BIAB failure of a mate's which burnt on the element. Why he fermented and bottled this thing, I do not know. Took a sip and literally spat it in the sink. It lingered for a good half an hour. Haunting.
Worst HB was a Coopers Pilsner in a can which I fermented in the late Newcastle spring, probably around 28°C. Was my 3rd home brew effort. Drank half a longneck and a few months later tipped the rest so I had bottles for my next brew.

So far there's only be one commercial beer I couldn't drink - Tun Bitter. It didn't even taste like beer. I don't enjoy New, Carlton Draught, Coldies etc. but they are in a completely different class. They taste like beer. Tun Bitter... well I can't understand how it can be produced from malted grain, sugar, yeast and hops. It is absolute filth.

 

[Weizguy]

Had a good chuckle at that.



Oettingers is the worst beer I've tasted, and Rivet from Aldi is a close second.

I also recently had a "limited release" Belgian Dubbel Chocolate Ale from Matilda Bay. It cost $9 for a 640ml bottle and while it wasn't the worst beer I've ever had, it's definitely the worst I've ever paid $9 for.

Oh, to be handsome and opinionated. I like the Oettinger, when I get a fresh one, and I bought some of that Dubbel, and drank it for what it was. It had the right flavours, as described (cocoa nibs etc), but maybe not in balance. It was only 640 ml to get through. Maybe you had it at the wrong temp too. I allowed it to warm and it was OK.

I haven't met anyone that like Magic Hat #9, myself included.

Hammer n Tongs would have to be up there.

Spare a thought for me. I bought a 6er of the Magic Kat, and struggled to get through it. No point clogging (coagulating/ clotting) my drains with it, I thought

 

[Droopy Brew]

Mrs came home with a slab of Sol. I think I had seen it mentioned somewhere in this thread and I gotta agree, it is complete and utter ****.

Aside from being fairly tasteless and uninspiring, it has this nasty aftertaste which took me a while to recognise but I think I've got it. I cant stand the horrible chemical taste of diet drinks that use that nutrasweet ****- it sort of has an almost drying taste on the tongue, almost sour. Well this beer tastes like it has nutrasweet in it.
It is ****** and as a stand, the Mrs will not get a root until she has cleared that **** from my beer fridge (which also happens to coincide with me not getting a root cos I told her how **** the beer is).
