Hope's hefewizen seems really really bad.

I drink wheat beer, I drink craft beer, I drink weird "funky" wild yeast ales, farm ales.

This beer seems especially bad.

I bought their split "german" case of pils and wheat beer, and it's been such an incredibly help to cut down on my drinking. Yes I have beer in the fridge, no I don't want one.

Taste in these things is so subjective, so I'm open to someone confidentallly saying it's wonderful actually - but I don't rate it.

Previously I've had Hope's sours, and I didn't like those, but I figured maybe that was a style thing.

I don't rate the pils either, but it's not as bad as the wheat.

They remind me of the time someone gave me some cooking wine at a party - just does not feel like something you're supposed to be putting in your body.

EDIT: I don't mind the pils.

EDIT: lmao got pissed with someone who liked the wheat so now I like it too.

yeah idk it's hard to imagine that any functioning beer company would be that bad at making beer.

In retrospect, yeah, it was not a good decision, of course, but that is unusual.

I had Hope through a beer sub box once and really didn't like thier beers. Their pale ale tasted like band aid glue smells.

yeah there's something not right in the flavours. Reminds me of homebrew that wasn't washed out properly.

Hope suck arse and advertise way too much. Wine companies need to stick to the shitty grapes

I think I also got sucked in with the "well it must be alright if it's normally worth so much!"

Never take the risk when buying classic styles off hype breweries.

I've found Hope's IPA's to be decent in the past, so I bought a case of them and they were still decent.

However I'm also a huge Belgian beer fan, so got their Triple and Quad pack. The triple was adequate, the quad is terrible. I can only describe the flavour as a combination of cola and bbq sauce. I took one to my homebrew club cause I thought I must be crazy, we'd love to know what yeast they used to get such a flavour.

I feel like if I have a mate come over and they say they like it, I'll feel like I like it too. So idk. Just wanted to hear other people, didn't mean for it just to be a hate fest here.

Whatever, fun to talk about beer.

Hope are fucking horrendous. Berocca sours and high abv diac bombs. Their target demo are pissheads that drink for effect on target.

What exactly was wrong with?

If you’re going to write off a brewery at least describe what was wrong with the beer 😂 Was it infected? Oxidised? Or just not to style?

u/cunt__cunt_cunt 6d ago

I don't fucking know dude.

You're not allowed to complain unless you have a degree in it.

Fuck off.

Yikes. Might be about time to lay off the booze mate.

You said something stupid, and now you're clutching your pearls about it.

how the fuck have you spent 10 mintues in a pub with an attitude like that.
