Beer you just don't like/can't drink

[Linalmeemow]

Tried a bottle of Land of Liberty AIPA from Aldi earlier, it went down the sink, talk about pale and insipid.. Also tried their Red Rye IPA, and my wife actually had an allergic reaction to one of them..... So there's 2 more on the list to never buy again... :lol:

While neither of them would win any awards I'm amazed you found them sink-worthy. If I'm in Aldi now I'l get the Redwell West Coast Pale Ale every time, but I definitely don't mind either of the others you mention.

How long have you had it for? I did the one out of the Greg Hughes book (more SMaTH than SMaSH, I think) and it tasted like cat piss at first. Three months later it's delicious!

Brewed in June. I came across the crate the other night but my excitement was short lived. Must of ballsed that one up.
I will try a small batch again sometime.

What's up with it? Off flavours?

My Nelson Sauvin smash. Its rank as **** as is going down the sink!

That's a shame, any idea what went wrong? I would have thought NS would be great in a smash.

Wadworths 6x
I live near where it's brewed and every pub round here is Wadworths. Guaranteed gut rencher!

@Linalmeemow @strange-steve To be honest i have no idea what went wrong. I will put one in the fridge (begrudgingly ha ha) and see if i can describe the taste.

I didn't mind the red rye bud, I was however surprised to taste a commercial beer with a liquorice tang....:lol: Was my wife who couldn't stand that one. It's just not one I'd buy again.

The IPA though was fizzy water, with just a tiny hint of bitterness. Oddly the aroma was chocolatey, which given it's supposed to be the usual citrus/tropical fruit aroma, according to the label, you get with a US IPA was a big surprise. But it literally had no flavour, less than a cheap stubby lager (which can be nice when you are mega thirsty on a hot summers day, and just want something to quench your thirst)... My wife handed me hers too (she didn't like it, plus she was having some sort of allergic reaction to one of them) but I just poured the lot down the toilet and drank a bottle of my still very young Youngs AIPA to remind myself what good beer tastes like. :lol: Given the aroma of chocolate I got, could be I was unlucky and got a couple of dodgy bottles. I have a much more sensitive sense of taste and smell than my wife, who couldn't smell anything at all (to go with the absence of flavour...). This is why she can usually drink beer that I can't stand at all (eg. Carling Black Label... Although personally I hesitate to call that gut rot beer... lol).
