Jan 18, 2005 This really is a shocker, and i’m sure it’s only patriotism that keeps the Queenslander’s buying the stuff. I’m sure there’s plenty of jokes as to what the XXXX’s stand for, but i’m going with "BLEC".

Dec 31, 2004 Castlemaine XXXX Export Lager (brewed in the E.U. under licence) - 4,8% ABV.
Pours clear golden with a fine white head. Hoppy and grainy aroma. Pretty hoppy flavor with flowery tones. Actually not as bad as expected, maybe because it’s new years eve :-)

Dec 27, 2004 Bottled. Pale golden colour, small head. Slightly adjuncty, grainy taste ending a hoppy, medium dry finish. Not the worst pale lager I´ve had, but still not enjoyable at all.

Dec 13, 2004 Hobgobblin bar in Canterbury. Ligth golden color white head. Malty taste and aroma... but i´s to weak and boring.

Nov 28, 2004 The saying goes the reason that Aussies call it XXXX is cause they can’t spell piss. The statement couldn’t be truer. I’ve even braved the bottled versions, and they are just has bad as their watery draught cousin. No flavour, crammed full of preservatives, and sadly interbrew replaced Heineken cold filtered with this!

Nov 25, 2004 Can, drunk in the train from The Hague to Hengelo. Bought in Wijn en Bierboetiek, The Hague. Metallic and grainy. Thin. Hints of orange. There is some distant bitterness, probably not really from Pride of Ringwood hops, but a more nasty bitterness not taken from hops. Nutty. Cardboard. Not good.

Oct 26, 2004 Draft at Sherlock Holmes in London. Fast rising carbonation, transparent and a yellow hue. Malty aroma and a hoppy and lightly bitter flavor. Tingly mouthfeel. Medium bodied beer with excellent lacing.
