Yellow color, spare head, fizzy visible carbonation. Smells like a skunk lives in the glass and comes out to bite your nose. Sweet cornwater taste - what a terrible brew.

Wahey, the drink you drink in walkabout aussie bar cos it’s the cheapest and best beer for your money. Does alright, loses its flavour after a few. Not THAAT bad. Cans are like a million for the price of 10 or something.

Canned: Golden coloured. Clear. Flouffy off white head. Grainy and sweet beer. Very thin bodied. Very shitty lager.

On draught in London. Appearance of a norther american lager with lots of carbonation and a bubby head. Straw coloured with a light malt aroma. Thin body and a light malt taste. Pretty much standard

Tasteless quaffing lager only. Ok to drink if you’re that pissed that you have lost control of the vast majority of your senses, like half an hour before closing time.

Awful beer, it’s a pity our local across the street got rid of Stella and left us with this crap and Litovel. There’s a message on the bottle and the message says: "BEWARE…THIS IS NOT A BEER FOR DRINKING, THIS IS A BEER FOR LAYING DOWN AND AVOIDING!" It should be wiped off the face of the earth…bitter shit! This beer is criminal. (no pun).
