I find it more bland than some of the mass produced stuff.

When I visited the UK 3 years ago I had a Plum Porter from the hand pump found it delicious, don't know whose it was but tried to replicate it when I got back home using prune juice dismal failure.

Hong Kong brewed San Miguel - truly dreadful stuff. It was so full of chemicals I felt the hangover starting even as I was drinking it. Blue girl wasnt much better.
Luckily we found the emerging Craft beer places and bottles of Little Creatures :thumb:

I spent a fair bit of time there when I was a Royal Marine in the 60's and as you say, the hangover started when you were drinking it. The Spanish San Mig has never given me the same problem.
+1 on this. Wife bought a load of Inns and Gunns bottles back from good food show last year.
a lot of them were decent and interesting and was looking forward to their "craft" lager.
I was surprised at how bland it was, I could have been drinking carling cold
Green king ipa....this must be squeezed out of tramps socks! No1 worst beer ever!
Canned "bitters" Boddingtons, Jon smiths etc....should prosecuted under trades description laws...this comes out of stagnant ponds.
Most canned "lagers"......should be labelled as "dreadful,sh1te ".
Agree..plum porter is nice but not all night!

I got a selection box for last Christmas and tipped the following down the drain:
Stella is just drinkable when ice cold, but then turns into p*ss.
Heineken/Amstel/Kronenbourg/Carlsberg are less than cooking lagers.
Stouts/Guinness are evil (some Porters not bad).
Tequila flavoured lagers are just wrong
- La Trappe & other Trappist style (way too strong and not a nice flavour - although some Chimay beers are ok)
- Hitachino Amber Ale (rank, should stick to lagers!)
- Schlenkerla Rauchbier Marzen (Smoked beer - WTF! I was heaving with this one)

I think it would have been quicker to say what you WILL drink!
I'm with Rob on the extra strong commercial stuff. Basically anything where they've resorted to adding sugar to get the alcohol up starts to taste sickly and twangy to me. Making it strong and drinkable is truly an art exemplified by nectar like Sarah Hughes Dark Ruby.
Can't drink fruit beers either. I like raspberries, strawberries and beer alike but they need to be served in separate vessels!

Agree re Green King ipa:twisted:.
Can't stomach Hobgoblin either:twisted:
Ye I think they are both dreadful. GK IPA tastes just like cabbage to me, Hobgoblin is just deeply unimpressive. And my capper doesn't like the bottles!

Could it have been Titanic by any chance (brewed in Stoke On Trent)? If so, that just happens to be my favourite beer. :thumb:
I'm incredibly picky when it comes to my beer though, so like some others it'd be quicker to say what I will drink... :whistle: I tend to like heavier beers though, like a good ruby ale or a porter.

Doombar tastes like it's been fermented too warm.

Agree with most comments about lagers, while working in Portugal last summer, had the misfortune of a pint of Estrella Damm, should have been called 'Estrella, Damn!' Pity, because the Super Bock was quite drinkable in that heat.
Haven't touched a cider in many years, last one I tried left an esterry taste in my mouth for days:sick:. Had a similar experience with the Banana Bread Ale.
