Subject: Michelob -- Hefeweizen...like to gag a maggot.

You may have missed a Michelob blunder --> Hefeweizen.

Now, I love wheat beer. I've toured Europe and Australia and I must say, I've never found a weizen that didn't at least like ma a little. American wheat beers are coming along (Samuel's Cherry Wheat's not too bad) but we are, admittedly, not up to speed in this country. Certainly -- we are not world class contenders in the weizen field.

As a matter of fact, Michelob's Hefeweizen has put American efforts back by a bottle or two -- no, make that a brewery or two. This beer is unconscionable. Flat out, a throat tightening struggle to tip a bottle more than once. Truly, I couldn't keep both eyes open when swallowing. God, what an awful beer. Let stand alone the fact that it should've tasted even "somewhat" like an effervescent, fruity, wheat bubbly. This concoction reeks of the devil's handiwork.

Had I otherwise wished to defile a beautiful Florida beach at sunset, I would have sent that little bottle to China via the slow route.

On the other hand, I did like the label. Maybe this is fitting, since I couldn't say anything else positive about my entire experience with this swill.

Do you guys have an award for the worst beer with the best label? Maybe, an Honorable "Deception" trophy, or something?

In any case, it was fun to vent and you may, of course, use any part of this message as your own,
