I think the other reviewers are wine tasters b/c this beer is an awesome cheap alternative to the more expensive carlton crown lager and james squire. This beer is great and for the price it beats the crap out of VB and Toohey’s New.

Full of Flavour and satisfyingly thirst quenching on a hot day. Ignore all the other reviews - they must be drunk - buy this beer its the best - if you like Sam Adams or a good english beer its a happy medium.

Yellow. Very bitter and very average, not really much to this beer. Tastes like most of the beers they have to offer in Australia.

Perhaps due to having the resources of just one city at its disposal rather than an entire state, slightly worse than VB.

Had a fellow beer geek club member bring some back with him on his trip home. The aroma was very sweet, almost honey like and slightly floral. Appearance is a pale yellow/gold color, decent head (nothing really extraordinary). Mouthfeel was really watery, but don’t expect much from a pale lager. Flavor wasn’t too bad. Mostly malt but if you dig way deep down you get a little hint of caramel. Overall I’d say not quite as good as Fosters Special Bitter, but better than Victoria bitter.

375ml bottle Purchased at Stanlee’s, Tumon Bay, Guam. Didn’t have a glass so I couldn’t see it. Better than VB I think.

On tap, canned, bottled, botted; it doesn’t matter how ya take it, it’s a piece of shit.
