Commercial Description:
Based on a traditional recipe and as strong in flavour as the name suggests. Inspired by the turn of the century arm wrestling team, which was made up of Boags employees and local citizens. This strong beer has a full, fresh, malty character with a subtle bitterness and smooth finish.

Golden amber in colour with a long-lasting frothy white head, good lacing. Thin to medium bodied with medium to high carbonation; Moderate bitterness; Not much flavour other than a little maltiness. Nice dry finish. An average pale lager.

Amber with an off white head which lasted fairly well although left little if any lacing. Highly carbonated. A light sweat malt flavour with a mild bitterness. Goes down OK but nothing to write home about. Similar to most other Australian pale lagers.

Big fluffy head, light orange colour body, hoppyish aroma (could be skunky!) a very mild an plain flavour, nothing special but certainly not bad, a ’bbq beer’

Bottle -- Pours a light amber with a small, white frothy head. A bit of retention and a whole lot of lacing. Lots of bubbles. Aroma has much more going on than your average Oz lager with some caramel, malt and hops. Watery mouthfeel. The flavour is more one dimensional than the aroma with some sweetness up front and a vaguely (ever so vaguely) bitter aftertaste. Why it’s got that word "Bitter" in its name is a bit of a mystery. Not bad, with more going for it than most Oz lagers.
