KB Lager

Formerly brewed at Carlton & United Breweries (CUB)
Style: Pale Lager
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Gold with good white head. The nose and palate both smack of tinfoil, or some metallic flavor.

Hmm. First beer I ever tried as a youngster. Not great but very cool design on can. When I hears the word ’tinny’ this is what I thinks of. Thanks Mum for not busting me.

The big gold oil can! I can still taste the aluminum from the first time I drank this many years ago...The aroma is still metallic/tangy and really not attractive...Its friendly golden color and decent head help overcome its olfactory deficiencies...Flavor would outpace most American macro-lagers except for the annoying and omnipresent metallic presence, which hurts the overall balance and mouthfeel as well...The can alone brings back youthful memories, however!

It was cold, wet, watery, yellow, fizzy Australian beer in a big gold can. Aussies I met in Hawaii called it Kids Beer.....they were spot on.

KB = Kiddies Beer Not worth the effort

Hoppy chemical flavour, that reminds me of a cross between the aluminium can it comes in and chlorine. I only had one of these, but i could tell that a lot of them would give you a massive headache the next day. Pretty sweet and gross.

Australian equivalent of Old Style!

I swear my dad was raised on this stuff. He didn’t seem to mind it. My uncle preferred Flag Ale, but then again, he would. I find it quite harsh on the palate. Lovely colour though!
