This list could get very long.
See there was a time when I was seriously into beer. I made my own beer. I still have a whole shelf of books on beer making and the brewing industry. I also sampled ALOT of beer...I wrote reviews and kept them in a little note book with all the labels. At last estimate, I'd had around 500 different beers.
Cheap beers don't offend me much: They are what they are. What does offend me are high priced micro-brews or imports which are often very unbalanced in flavor, victims of low quality control in packaging (skunking) or any number of other flaws.
I will regale you with some of the more interesting entries in my notebook:
1.
McEwan's Scotch Ale- Zeno's winter 1992. This beer must be an acquired taste. It was sickly syrupy sweet. Uggghhhh! Bad, bad, beer...similar to chugging a QUART OF AUNT JEMIMA....no, that would be better! No hops flavor, just sickly, disgusting, malty sweet, ****ty flavor. WAY OFF BALANCE.
2.
Oranjeboom Holland Beer- Zeno's Summer 1992. Bad, Bad, EVIL beer. Cardboard...no, mildewed cardboard flavor throughout. Definitely spoiled.
But for the absolute worst.....
3.
Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale- Zeno's Winter 1992. Bad, Bad, BAD, BAD, BAD, BAD, BAD!!! Gruesome! Unsavory! Really repulsive! Looks like Listerine...smells like Listerine, comes in a big bottle like Listerine and finally. IT TASTES LIKE LISTERINE!!!!
Being this is a seasonal beer, I hope they've changed the recipe since 1992.
Of course....that's just my opinion and I tend to be a colorful writer.
