Worst Comerical Beer You Had

[Mr Bond]

Hey Warren,
Is that the beer in the glass or the post tasting urine sample?

man that is some dodgy,stodgy lookin beer.

 

[Mercs Own]

L J was a shocker when it first came out
Diamond Draft ? not much better
never liked Melbourne Bitter
and cant drink Heineken
had a couple of beers at Bintara a year ago that were pretty tough going
Worst beer I have had lately: Lucky Beer

 

[Mercs Own]

Oh, no doubt there is someone or a group of someones that probably reackon Mercs Own Peach Ale should be on this list - Wont be on mine but surely on some one elses!

That is the great thing about being an individual! More power to you.

Nup BL.

That's how it come out of the bottle. Yep, tasted like piss. <_<

This one could well take the cake. <_<

Caporal Pils. (they can't even get the spelling right). Total shocker. Poured almost as flat as a tack and cloudy as buggery. Scary part is it's Belgian.

Not remotely like a Pils. Reminded me of some flat kit and kilo homebrew. Fruity/cidery and some funny cardboard flavours.

In defence of it, most likely past its peak. No visible signs of use-by dates or anything.

If the beer through the bottle has some sediment on the bottom avoid it like the plague.

Warren -

Caporal Pils is not a great beer, but I have never come across one that poured flat and cloudy. It sounds like you scored a very old and most likely mistreated bottle. To be fair I would put it on about the same rung as Jupiler, Maes or Stella .... in other words, drinkable, but not really a Belgian worth seeking out.

Tasmanian Light Ice :blink:

 

[Boozy the clown]

'Oranjeboom' :blink: Guess it didn't help that I had a rotten hangover - had to tip it out...

Still rate carlton blonde and fosters light ice way up there as 'worst beers ever'

 

[Adamt]

Theres a lot of beers I simply cannot drink, however I think the worst commercial beer I've had is a guarana beer. Tasted literally like half a bottle of red bull mixed with half a bottle of yeasty piss. Can't remember the brand but it was nasty.

 

[Benno-5]

carlton cold! More like cats piss then beer

 

[mike_hillyer]

A lot of those commercial beers are summed up beautifully by Laurie Strachan as a beer you wont dislike. EG crown, corona, TED's, millers, etc... but it does take guts to brew something with flavour in Australia eg: Toohey's Old (and not to change the yeast from an Ale to a lager).

I've also noticed that Carton Draught is very sickly sweet.

 

[dirty mac]

definately going with snow here..

i dont mind crownies..

a mate who has just started brewing was asking me how he could replicate a carlton cold.. i said 'i dont know, maybe wash some dishes in the wort before after and during the ferment'

Don't forget to urinate in it....

and add some arse hairs

 

[Murray]

I'm worried you know the flavour contributions of urine and arse hairs.

 

[shotduck]

Coopers DAB. Vomit-tube lubricant... nothing more.

Hahn Ice - tastes better the second time

I can drink, and once inebriated even appreciate the CUB & LN offerings, they are to beer what a busker is to live band.

Merc - you didnt like Bintara, I found it to be reasonable.
So far in my travels I rate Holgate as being the most underwhelming micro in Vic, their red lager was the only drop with body, the rest were weak and watery - I could better with a can & kilo.

 

[Murray]

Funnily enough, I quite like the Holgate beers.

 

[warrenlw63]

Funnily enough, I quite like the Holgate beers.

Ditto.

Earlier efforts in the bottle were questionable but seem to be good these days. Hand-pumped from Keatings Hotel is magnificent. :beerbang:

[MObeer]

Formaldehyde is the correct spelling.

 

[benno1973]

Resch's (?spelling) was the worst beer I've ever tasted. Smelled and tasted like vomit in a glass. Perhaps the glass was dirty. Perhaps Resch's just smells like vomit. Who's to know...

 

[bugwan]

Carlton Cold. It's like there's a party in my mouth and everyone's throwing up.

 

[Benno-5]

Got to say carlton cold was good when i was 15 and started drinking beer, thats because it probably didnt taste like beer at all. If we can give it some credit its a starting point for people who have never tried beer before. Since i have come to appreciate real beers, made by small micros and made by myself, although i still dont mind the occasional vb but thats my ancestry i guess?

Is it actually made from malted barley or something else very strange?

I was offered one earlier tonigh, or a cascade light, I went with the light. Im not a fan of light beer (water) but id rather it over a coldie any day.

Carlton Cold. It's like there's a party in my mouth and everyone's throwing up.

that made me laff

VB for me! It's just piss in a can. Somebody had the lack of nouse to bring a 6-pack to one of my parties ... it was executed for crimes against brewing (its chaperone was lucky not to suffer the same fate).

Closely followed by any of the Carlton & Tooheys stables (their respective dark ale offerings are drinkable at best). Aussies are renowned for crawling over a pile of broken stubbies to get to a beer ... and when they get there, it's the worst in the world.

Then the American commercial "efforts".
Q: What's the similarity b/w sex in a canoe and American beer?
A: They're both f*cking close to water!

 

[gavor]

Carlton Cold for not tasting like beer, more like hops in water.

VB for living up to the moniker vomit breath.

Samuel Adams because I tried to give it away to my country adelaide cricket club and they gave it back after everyone sampled it. I was told not to bring beer ever again.

West End Draught and Southwark. To my shame they both come from my state of origin. Thank god they also have Coopers, a maker of mostly great beers.

Tasman Bitter for making me grin and bear it in front of my father-in-law then tip it out when he wasn't looking. Terrible.


Oh and hi. Though I've been lurking for some time this is my first post. Guess I should go to the intro post and say hi formally.

[brownie-Who-Took-My-Name?]

Does anyone remember Brisbane Bitter?

Very quickly earned the moniker Brisbane River

It was pretty poor.

 

[Brewtus]

I remember Sydney Bitter @ 5.5%, KB larger, but some of the worst was a mexican beer called Mondo Nergo and some traditionally brewer muck from Brittany in France. Ironically the cider in Brittany is fantastic.

 

[mickk]

Remember Swan Dry? mate bought it home once, sent him back to the pub with it. Was like drinking water that dried up your mouth, how it got called beer is anyones guess.

Carlton Cold, makes alcoholics vomit does that ****. Like drinking frothy bath water your little sister has pissed in.

Anything in a can from SA.

English lagers served full to the brim like an overflowing piss bucket, pulled from the keg at room temperature. Try skulling one of these and you will plaster the wall with spew.

Fosters Lager, Introducing the world to a sickly sweet flat local version of pommy piss is a national disgrace.

 

[redgums500]

Worst beer ever..... Tooheys Classic . Came out about 10/12 years ago and was beyond reproach !

[petesbrew]

I was given a case of Heineken recently for helping my brother in law move house.
Cracked the first one open and thought... wow, this is really crap!


I'm really not sure what to think... has Heineken really gone down the drain (well, it was a locally brewed slab)?

At least I've now got more bottles for more brews!

 

[JCG]

Two that come to mind:
1 Tasmine Bitter, (should have known better @ $25 a case, drank it out of spite).
2 Tooheys Red, (I had to overnight in Tenterfield for work a while ago with a work mate to ackel a big project at the last minute the boss pulled outand couldn't get there til next day so the two of us got trashed. to many schooners of tooheys old and i saw a sign of tooheys red, I thought it was new red beer not the cr%p serverd to me).

[blackbock]

Not the worst beer ever, but:

Last Saturday night I was at a club where there were no decent beers on tap, and not even Coopers in glass bottles! I figured the closest thing to a real beer would be the canned Guinness. WRONG. This was a 4.2% ABV jobby and tasted like cold water with diluted coffee grounds in it (oh, and not to forget the fake white nitrogen-induced head which tasted like whipped cream.

Is is just me, or have they changed the recipe?
