Wow, this beer I bought is gross.

Southern Tier Orange Twist

I've dumped one beer ever down the drain. I forget what it was, but it was something local. The worst beer I ever remember having was Corona Light, which was not a drain pour for some reason, but this may be one.

What I failed to realize is, this is an imperial ale. I assumed it was a stout by mistake because generally, most of the creamy flavors are stouts.

Decent orange cream flavor to open it up, but the ale flavor, which I don't mind, just mixes really awful with it. It is 8.6% and you don't taste the alcohol, but the ale taste is not meshing with this.

Now, this is a collaboration with Perry's Ice Cream, so I figured it would be more creamy(much like the Kentucky brand vanilla cream stout I had a week ago), but for some reason I get a decent cream, orange peel zest(FHJDKL) and then the ale.

Perhaps if I poured it into a glass it would taste better, and maybe I could come around to it because it's not too far off from what I wanted but yeah.

Reminds me of another one I had that I did not care for, but this one surprised me.

I bought I think the most recent edition of Dogfishhead's 120 minute IPA. I know what i'm in for with these highly priced limited edition things: off the charts ABV and one bottle is like drinking a meal. This one I really disliked because while I like an IPA, this one really tasted like sludge. I don't really know, but it was just...it tasted more like a porter.

It ages in the bottle, they say, so maybe in a few years it'll get better.

Microbrews are always a wild card because they can be the greatest thing you've ever tried, or an abomination that shouldn't even legally qualify as drinkable.

I've only poured two beers down the drain. One was a microbrew that I can't remember anything about other than it tasted abysmal. The other was Budweiser.

Very rarely do I find something that isn't drinkable, but i have a high tolerance for finishing stuff.

The more I drink this the more I get it, so I have upgraded it from gross to not my thing.

I will probably finish it because I wanted one beer this evening and don't feel like cracking open another.

Oh but I did crack open a second beer.

Bavik belgian wheat beer.

Kinda standard stuff with low alcohol belgian wheat beers. dependable

This is why I just forgo all beer and drink hard liquor instead.

Interesting. Those heavy high % ones are usually delicious, but they're so filling that I can really only have one of them.

They should have gone with an orange cream flavor instead of orange peel.

What's wrong with Corona? Should I try something else?

Teach that gross beer a lesson by finishing it off

It's shit.

All beers pretty much taste the same to me tbh.

I don't care for Corona and the light version to me was terrible.

However I can say drink what you like. It doesn't matter really. Granted beer is an acquired taste so there is stuff you've never had you'd probably like in time but again though whatever you like is fine.

I never really understood the hate for Corona, it's not terrible but it's not my go to, although I havent tried light.

I hate every cheap beer like Corona so it doesn't really count for me.

Every country just has a national "beer" that is either the most well known brand of that country or the best selling within its borders. These generally are just "meh" but they're well known and get the job done.

In a world with thousands of beer brands and options, I get why people hate Corona, because there is too much variety and too much good stuff out there. But while I dislike Corona, I wouldn't judge anybody that likes it.

Corona is also weird because it is sold in clear bottles for reasons I cannot comprehend, so the chances of getting a skunked one are higher than beer in cans or in amber bottles, so a lot of peoples main experiences with Corona may be from a skunked bottle. Though I do not really think it's that great to begin with, imagine a "rotten" version of one.

Actually now that I think about it I don't think I have ever had a Mexican beer I have ever liked.
