Badger's peach and ginger beers are nasty indeed.
However, I doubt even [i:2d6o5zyr]they [/i:2d6o5zyr]would describe them as "real beers".
Worst [i:2d6o5zyr]real [/i:2d6o5zyr]real beer I had was on a recent trip to Brussels, really looking forward to a Saison Dupont, and served with a hideous cloudy skunk-fest of a beer which - if it had been later in the evening - would probably have made me throw up. <!-- s:evil: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_evil.gif" alt="" title="Evil or Very Mad" /><!-- s:evil: -->

Badger is getting a kicking it seems for adding unusal flavours to beer, the belgians do it and people trip over themselves to laud the beers <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: -->

Yea but a there is an number of comments that baggers just get it right

I have to agree with Delzep

Mongozo Banana is definitely one of the worst beers I've ever had. Such an overwhelming artificial banana flavor...

A WONDERFUL craft brewery in Colorado, Avery makes some great beers but their 15th Anniversary Ale, "15" was either their first Brettanoymces fermented beer or their first 100% Brett fermented beer and they DEFINITELY chose the wrong conditions and strain; you want to talk about "horse blanket"/"barnyard funk"...?? -It tasted like a dairy farm smells. Unbelievable.

Reuben's not going to be happy with this one but "New Holland Brewery" in Michigan just seems to have a really phenoly (bandaid phenols, not clove or banana) yeast strain and they certainly don't restrain it; they've made an oak-wood smoked doppelbock that was designed to be paired with pork dishes; it is called Charkoota. The phenols were already pretty harsh from their yeast strainu and they added harsh oak smoke and the combination was NOT good. -There's some definite parallels between this beer and Laphroaig whisky; if you don't like the taste of licking a chimney, stay away from both!

Another strange one was at a craft brewery in Washington D.C. called "Capitol City"$$ their Kolsch had a fairly strong bleach taste. -They probably didn't pay close enough attention to the percentage of bleach in their home-made sanitizer. Bleach beer does NOT taste good.

Capitol City did have some nice beer thought
