Even though they are very popular , because of very good marketing. All the US light beers are garbage. Natural, Bud; Miller,...ect ect. They are like flavored water. Very popular with college kids because they are cheap.
I really can't drink anything that's real hoppy. The worst I ever had was Magners. Even though it's not beer it still sucks.

It's quite obvious Larry that none of the people who compiled that list has ever drunk, for want of a better word, a West End Draught.
Made from the dark and murky 'waters' of the river torrens, one of the few australian rivers that flows, oozes may be better, upside down with the mud on the top.
The water of this South Australia river is strained, filtered, chlorinated and boiled before being marked as not fit for human consumption or consumption in general, it is then added to the left over dregs of the hops that have already been used by coopers to make their fine ales, stirred by a herpes ridden, leprous pervert who gobs in the tanks, and is then added to cans of horse piss before finally being marketed as Fosters and people would still rather drink Fosters than West End Draught.
Got to love the 'member profiles', have a look...

Well yes they have...here's a few comments from ratebeer.com
UPDATED: JUN 10, 2009 You know you’re drinking a shit beer when the main thing you can taste is metallic chemicals. I’d rather drink my own piss out of a toilet then West End. If you’re coming to South Australia, choose Coopers. EDIT: They’ve now removed the chemicals! However, it’s still utter shit.
If you like this, you do not like beer
West End. Comes out the west end rapidly after consumption. South Australians drink anything. Thankfully the Coopers Brewery picks up the slack where this shit fails to strive. Utter garbage.
Quite possibly the worst beer on the planet. My only regret about rating this beer was that the ratings don’t go into the minuses. This is actually offensive, but then again most things from Adelaide generally are. Re-Rate: Went back to Adelaide recently and decided to give this another go. Not as bad as remembered the first time, but still pretty awful. Goes from a 1/10 to a 3/10 purely because it did not freak me out as much as the first time I tried it. Interesting to note I brought a six-pack home with me and distributed one each to six of my mates. Reports back to me varied from undrinkable to shithouse, to never wanting to speak to me again. One of them said ’If that’s the sort of present you give to your mate, then what the f&^# do you give to people you don’t like"?
Personal experience : doing the interminable cross-country bus trip, first stop into SA, fanging for an ale, went to the bar and asked for a beer and got a West End. Even as a completely parched bare-bones-of-the-arse student, the first mouthful got spit out as a spray and an accusing look cast around looking for the the practical joker. Finally sussed that it was for real (and that the locals were taking exception to the swearing), stumped up for a spirits and left the beer as totally undrinkable swill. Vile filth, possibly the work of satanic forces.
Thank God Geeks like beer too!

Since this was one of the first threads over 7 years ago we can't ever let it die. Beer (no mangers)is what makes TWF survive.
In honor of Oktoberfest which is just finishing up I had one of these. Even though it's not an Oktoberfest beer it is very good. Try one if you see it.

From the country that brought you Bintang, now comes El Diablo... pretty good actually for a beer brewed in East Java.
Love wandering up to a bar in Bali and asking for "a couple of large Devils please barman"
