I am not much of a drinker, and I have never had Walter's, but I 
think that must be about some of the worst beer you can find. Here is 
why I say this...

When I was a youngster, me and some of the kids in the neighborhood 
collected beer cans. Whenever I could, I would try to get my dad to 
buy something that came in a cool looking can. On one trip to the 
cabin in Wisconsin I managed to get him to buy some Walter's at a 
small gas/food/bait store. It was a warm evening, he had a long week, 
he couldn't wait to have a cold one.

We get to the lake, unpack, and he is ready to relax... he goes for 
the Walter's takes one big gulp. Before he gets it all down he starts 
spitting it up....  starts cussing like mad (which was very rare). It 
was the only time I ever saw him dump out a beer that wasn't warm. 
The rest of the Walter's was emptied out as well, and that was just 
about the last beer he every bought just so I could get the can.
