The absolute worst beer you can get anywhere is...

Oh no you didn't.

That is a great beer!

Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic. Only beer I wasn't able to finish.

Worst beer ever? Natty light, hands down simply terrible. Its bad tasting water.

Close second is Barcello Rubio, I think its alcoholic but you need to add an entire lime to the beer to cover the god awful taste. Never fruit your beer, except this one... It litterally is carbonated urine from some small animal

I simply must add another to the list. I had this beer while living in Sandiego, but I think you can find it just about anywhere. There are really no words to describe just how bad this product from Tecate Mexico is.

This stuff was actually made in Cave Creek, Arizona at the Satisfied Frog. I think they stopped brewing everything because the owner didn't pay the rent and the property owner took over the place. They have renamed it something like Silver Saddle. There was one beer that they had that was quite good and it was called Black Mountain Pale Ale. Alas, it can't be had anymore

My parents had a six pack of this horrid stuff in their closet for a couple years because no one would drink it and my dad is so cheap he wouldn't throw it out.
This stuff could cure alcoholism. Truly nasty.

I refuse to drink ANY Sam Adams beer because of this atrocity. To call this a Lambic is ridiculous. Also, Lambics must come from a certain region of Belgium(like Champagne). I don't think there is another American brewery with gall to call their beer Lambic. Have some respect Sam Adams. Yes, I'm overreacting and I like it.

Good point, this isn't even a true Lambic style, let alone an actual Lambic. It's beyond ridiculous.

The only one I will drink is the Ommegang Three Philosophers. It has a genuine Belgian Cherry-Lambic added.

Agreed - the only Sam Adams I don't like. This one sucks.

I kept seeing this beer show up on bad lists, so I bought a SA winter mix case to see for myself. Sorry, but this beer is true to style, tart and flavorful. I like it myself, not my favorite by a long shot, but it is a good lambic. To place this beer on a list that includes the horrible tasting american light lager rice and corn beers like Bud and Coor's light is not fair. Tastes are obviously subjective, but if you have not had other lambics and label this one bad, perhaps you need to try some and then decide if it's the style and not the beer you don't like. Beer snob, out.

True to style? All of the tartness came from the cranberry, it had NONE of the sourness if should have from the brett. It is far to sweet for a real lambic, and is obviously not spontaniously fermented, which is kind of the defining characteristic of a lambic.

As far as it not belonging in a thread with "horrible tasting american light lager rice and corn beers like Bud and Coor's light", those are also just another style of beer, and actually defining examples of that style. Take your own advice and "decide if it's the style and not the beer you don't like."

Agree on the the process being shortcutted on the SA, they probably don't have open air fermenters in buildings filled with centuries of wild yeast strains to produce a true belgian lambic, but I just don't think that it has that bad a taste. I'll disagree with you on the sweetness though, Lindeman's Framboise is as sweet or sweeter than the SA cranberry.

On your other point, light lager is a style. Adding adjuncts such as corn and rice instead of using all barley is just a bastardization to save money. I can drink an all barley light lager or ale and say it's a good beer, can't do that with a bud.

I don't remember the name of it, but I bought a 'beers of the world' pack with 10 different beers in it. Some were good, some were just unique...but one actually tasted like salami!!! I kid you not, it tasted like drinking a friggin' salami!! I took two drinks, poured it out...it was disgusting! I don't dislike salami, but in a beer! It was a beer from India...there was another beer from India that was a perfectly normal tasting ale, I've never tasted anything like it.

As far as the Lindeman's, it's a fruit beer based on a lambic, which is fine for what it is. You may argue that the SA would be the same thing, but there is not lambic base there to begin with. Lambics are supposed to be a sour beer, not just have the tartness of a fruit.

For the light lager style, as I said, Bud and Coors light are defining examples of the style; BJCP Style Guide section 1A. Sure, corn and rice aren't Reinheitsgebot sanctioned, but then, neither is fruit.
