    Honourable mention to Anchor beer from Hamburg, awful swill.

    There is Anchor beer from California and they do a very nice porter and steam beer. There is also an Anchor lager from Malaysia I think which would give Budweiser a run for their money and Angkor beer from Cambodia, they have a poor lager but a nice stout.

    There is no anchor beer from Hamburg. Maybe you are thinking of one of the beers above. If not, then there are Holsten and Astra from Hamburg which are both in the Heineken/Budweiser league.

    By far the worst beer I've ever had (and I defy anybody to think of a worst beer) is Mongozo (Coconut). I generally like anything with coconut in it but this tasted similar to when you're washing your hair in the shower and some of your OH's fancy tropical shampoo accidentally gets into your mouth. Dire stuff!

    Bad memories flooding back right there, gagged a little bit when I read this. Also banana beer, there is some variety of banana beer on sale in the porterhouse if I am not mistaken.....also bad news. Sickly sweet and unpleasant aftertaste.

    Bourganel Nougat Beer. Carling is probably second.

    Oh god I take it back. Canterbury Jack, Spitfire, Bishops Finger. Even fresh out of the box in Lidl, they are skunked and undrinkable.

    Brewdog's 5AM Saint. Like drinking a bottle of flower scented bathroom cleaner.

    I don't like the taste of honey, so that's up there for me too. Tried to to see if it tasted like real honey, and it did. Bleccch.

    I have a great fondness for that beer.
    I've been saving a couple of bottles.

    Heineken, Budweiser, Carlsberg.. simply all piss. Never knew how I managed to choke them down.

    Aside from that, Newcastle Brown Ale is pretty mank.

    I had this beer called Keller I think it was, it was in a silver can, it was sold in Quinn's off-licence in Drumcondra at one point. That was by far one of the worst beers I had. Honourable mention goes to Leffe Blonde

    Jesus I'd forgotten about Keller, likely blocked it out of my mind because it was so bad. They used to do cheap cans of it in the bar in DCU. Tasted like fermented sea-water.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    One time I paid 5 euro for 6 cans of this royal dutch in a silver can, not the green can it usually comes in. It was really bad, it had such a foul taste off it and I'm not that hard to please.

    A couple of months ago I had a golden ale on cask in the Porterhouse that tasted very similar to the concentrate of Rose's Lime Cordial, a drink my father used to always have when I was a kid. Obviously the whole citrus thing is an established flavour in beers but this was beyond all reckoning. I finished it but didn't enjoy it, which is really quite rare for me. The name was written in very faded chalk on the blackboard so I never got its name. Anyway, damn you, mysterious lime ale.

    Had a pint of Brooklyn Lager when I was in New York. Could barely finish it, but did out of principle. Got a real taste of soap off of it. Nearly like someone had put a squirt of Fairy into it!

    I got that from a few bars here near Boston, apparently incorrect line cleaning is the culprit because I tasted that beer in a different place and it was actually quite nice.
