If it doesn't have hops, it's not beer. Water, barley, hops and yeast. That's beer. Smirnoff Ice is made with a malt base and there is also yeast to introduce sugars to become alcohol but the hops are blatantly missing. So no, a malt beverage is not a beer.

Back to the topic, worst alcohol I've ever had was Old Grand-dad Bourbon Whiskey. A friend of ours back in the day loved it. I needed something closer to Maker's Mark if I was going to enjoy bourbon.
