    Same thing here. Tried to make this last nite for my family. Don't know if there is something missing, but it tasted awful. The cheese barely melted & all I had was hot water & beer that smelled awful & tasted even worse. NOT soupy, not creamy - just nasty & won't waste my time on it again! :( - 12/5/08

    This isn't quite what I thought it would be. It tasted and smelled awful. - 3/19/08

    I don't know if something is missing from the ingrediants, but I tried to make this and it came out like melted cheese mixed with beer. It was way too soupy and not creamy like this kind of soup should be, and the flavor of the beer came on way too strong. - 11/5/07
