Inspired by Cinnamon Horchata Blue Moon, which IMO is worse than pretty much anything here, but still.

Kind of stuck between the Vanilla Porter, Cranberry Ginger and Honey Weiss

The only non answer in this poll is Original btw

nor red

I disagree, a bad plain lager can be deeply gross.

I looked at beeradvocate.com to see what their best- and worst-rated beers were, and some of the results are surprising.

the Sunset Wheat is awesome, it tastes like Fruity Pebbles

erry red flag (f. hazel), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:42 (eight years ago) link

if sunset wheat tastes like fruity pebbles what must berry weiss be like to say nothing of harvest patch shandy fruit

intrigued by "light light lager" as potential 4'33" of beers

I had the sunset wheat once and remember thinking it was not terrible

human life won't become a cat (man alive), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:46 (eight years ago) link

sunset wheat is great. I haven't had it in ages though.

pretty sure cranberry ginger shandy is the result of someone with a UTI pissing in the beer vat during brewing

erry red flag (f. hazel), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:50 (eight years ago) link

this will surprise many

mookieproof, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:53 (eight years ago) link

Vanilla Porter wasn't that bad i think? just sweet

los blue jeans, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 03:47 (eight years ago) link

IIRC most of the Leiney shandy variants I tried just tasted like soft drinks, which was actually fine for what I wanted at the time

I strenuously object to the name "Big Butt Dopplebock Dopplebock" on gp

snowdrift vanilla is horrible

leinie's original is one of the most disgusting beers i've ever had (this is coming from someone who likes hamm's)

the IPL is decent

global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 15:00 (eight years ago) link

Does vegetable mean there's a V-8 shandy?

Leinenkugel's Cranberry Ginger Shandy Fruit / Vegetable Beer sounds awful.

Darin, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 15:07 (eight years ago) link

leinie's gave up on making decent beer and is just a novelty fruit beer vendor for the most part now, right?

μpright mammal (mh), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 15:25 (eight years ago) link

More or less yeah.

IDGAF, I will rep for Original forever. Creamy Dark is okay, but I can't stomach Red.

Oh also the names are screwed up because the tabs between beer names and styles got deleted when I posted the list. So it's Big Butt Doppelbock, in the style of a Doppelbock. That doesn't really change the horrible name calculus, though.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Voted for the berry weiss but now I think I should have picked a shandy. Shandy's are terrible.

Treeship, Thursday, 31 March 2016 00:33 (eight years ago) link

the Summer Shandy that Leinenkugel makes is godawful. I had that shit a few years ago.

Neanderthal, Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:05 (eight years ago) link

^^^ otm. one of the worst hangovers i've ever had, too.

voting for "Orange Shandy Fruit / Vegetable Beer" out of spite for that. though iirc they ALL taste like fruity pebbles and they're all barfy.

never ending bath infusion (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:28 (eight years ago) link

xpost nothing worse than buying a sixer of that shit for a party and realizing you hate it three sips in and nobody else wants any

Neanderthal, Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:29 (eight years ago) link

three sips

ayo!

Treeship, Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:31 (eight years ago) link

"Canoe Paddler" sounds like a euphemism for masturbator, so I'll go with that.

nickn, Thursday, 31 March 2016 02:34 (eight years ago) link

nice

Treeship, Thursday, 31 March 2016 19:17 (eight years ago) link

fwiw those suffixes like "fruit/vegetable beer" are stylistic designators and don't appear on the packaging (because who's going to buy a vegetable beer?) "Adjunct lager" makes that one sound the worst to me - although original Leinie is a better than average lawnmower beer imo.
