I would have to say that the 'carlton cold shot' "beers" were amoung the foulest I have endured, if they classify as beers.

I also really dislike XXXX Gold and Reichs (some cheap crappy Australian Pilsner), and of course the generic carlton cold is quite foul also


(edit) and how could I forget, Tooheys Extra Dry!... its dirt!
 
:angry: even though it's on my signiture I tried LCPA and thought it was filth!

the price was shocking $4.50 for a 330ml stubbie :angry: I knew this before I tried it.

But never the less I will continue to try different brew's, next on the agenda is Beez Neez, Is this a good drop? :unsure:

Each to their own - it will grow on you, this thing called flavour :p

Beez neez isn't that hot, i thought it was pretty boring to be honest! Bee Sting is a better attempt at the honey-tasting beer i reckon.

Hmm... worst tasting commercial beer i've had - TED platinum. Mix 2 parts dishwater, 1 part fuel oil and 1/4 part beer and there you go. Good for getting loaded, removing scum and grease from engines but not much else. :unsure:

That would be hops you were tasting,heaps of citrus aroma and flava.

Beez neez may be more to your liking as its as bland as buggery and comparable to dishwater.

What was it exactly that you didn't like about LCPA?
Many home brewers start out trying to emulate this popular style.Have a look at the 'Skunkfart" thread.

You have much to learn grasshopper.

Another couple I seen was redback something :unsure: and another called steel city ;)

By whose standards? Yours? Mine? The bloke acrross the street? Each to there own mate.
Beez Neez is pretty bland and boring.
 
O'Briens Pale ale, gluten free,

fkng shthouse, emailed the brewer about how bad it was, thought it was infected, then looked at ratebeer, everyone had the same impression.

I'll second that! Very dissappointing beer. It's like they went out of their way to create a bland-tasting ordinary drop.

Crazy Little Brauluver. :lol:

Such a hypnotic sig. Must... pour ... beer. :blink:

Warren -
 
i tried the Matilda bay REDROOF i found it to be disappointing

but then it may have been a bad bottle will try it again soon

del
 
Never the less. I also try them for the bottles as I colect them. I have over 50 different brew bottles... from the tooheys new's to the Hunter draughts. I keep one bottle from each new beer I try...Recent additions are:
Little creature's pale ale
stienlager
BITburger
Lauinbrau
Out of about 50 different brews I have tried I always go back to the normal Bottlo fav's
XXXX-gold
Carlton Draught (It's the best)

not sure its the worst, buts its bloody average. Maes from Belgium. Vintage Cellars has it for $30 slab atm. bought it last night. its ok. just no flavour. very dissappointing.

+1.
I had one of them a year ago thinking "it's from Belgium, it's gotta be nice".... I was sadly mistaken. Just average beer.

my thoughts exactly. But I did have that niglling thought that "if its too good to be true....". I should have known better and spend the extra $10 and got some coopers or something. or just stuck with my other line of reasoning not to buy beer.. "I can make better myself. wait til you get home and have one of your own".
 
Some of the commercial draught beers tasted at the Royal Perth Beer Show last week were certainly amongst the worst I have ever tasted. Absolutely horrid. I'd have loved to have known who was responsible for these abominations. If we had a Register of Commercial Breweries, several would have been stuck off.
 
Anyone remember XXXX Thirsty Dog wheat? Now THAT was a shocker! :icon_vomit:
 
I was sucked in by those 5L kegs you can buy at bottlos around the place. I should have trusted my instincts alerting me to the gimmick that it clearly was. So while this may not apply to the brand as a whole, the worst beer I have ever had was from a 5L keg of Bitburger. It must have been factory dregs, it literally tasted like Clag glue. I will never buy a 5L keg from a bottle shop again!

I note your'e from Brisbane as well, a couple of years they had Bitburger on tap at the Elephant & Wheelbarrow and it struck me as a bland sweetish brew with a rapidly collapsing head and definitely not up to the standards of German Beers I've had in the past (I'm a Pom and have done some drinking in Germany :icon_cheers: ). As far as Kegs go I don't suppose there would be much wrong with Heineken but I don't like the idea of chucking away the keg afterwards, strikes me as environmentally unfriendly.

I wonder if there's any way of converting them to home brew usage?
 
Carlton Draught in a plastic cup at the footy...say no more.
 
I finally found a bottle of SNPA on the weekend and was.............underwhelmed ($7.50 a stubby)

Long trip from the states - but some beers travel further and better.

Glad I got two bottles -just in case the first was a dud.

+1 for the TED, XXXX gold in a cup at the footy - Lang Park Light I've heard it called. But what else are you going to drink? Heineken, Asahi - low carb/low flavour.

We found some Foster's Light Ice in the fridge here at work with Sydney Olympics logos allover it a while back. Needless to say it hadn't matured well.

The Boag's Classic Blonde is pretty *****. It tastes like home-brew, but not in a good way. I'm talking Bi-Lo extract, bag of sugar and high 20's.
 
Another point for Tooheys Extra Dry. I'd rather throw up my own beer and re-drink it. It would still taste better.

Y'know, every once in a while this link needs to be re-posted...

Dig,

You are one disgusting bugger.

My vote for bad beer is the new range of raddler or lime infusion beers. Refreshing yes, beer they are NOT. If beer was supposed to taste like a citrus tree it would. Beer is supposed to be malty and bitter. If you don't like these things then beer is not for you. Go back to drinking Lemon, Lime and Bitters at the gay bar.

Now that I have that off my chest I feel so much better.

Thank you all.
 
Mountain Goat IPA.
Opened the bottle and it gushed out the top. Taste was baby chuck mixed with cider.
Was within use-by-date.

Some may disagree but any beer avalable to buy in a shop is a commercial beer. Thus this is my choice.

Followed closely by: Barefoot Raddler
AND: Australian-brewed Carlsberg.

MFS.
 
Coopers DB was a really ****** beer

All of these woosy tasteless yuppie beers do nothing for me either.
 
A few years back I was at a 21st and all they had was Coronas & West End. After may enlightening drinks I came to the conclusion that if you can ad a slice of lime to make a s**ty Corona drinkable then surely if you try stuff a few wedges in a WE tinny you could make liquid gold! FAIL - DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS...

On another note, the very worst beer would be the mid-strength swill in the plastic cups that I ended up swimming in on the hill at Adelaide Oval a few years back. A quick yak on the way home cleansed my mouth of the taste but it took weeks to clean the stench from what I was wearing.
