...bottle. Well, didn’t expect much from this one, but it was just to try. Not horrible, I actually expected worse. Slightly bitter, but not overpowering. Hints of grass, corn, and other cheap fillers, no hops. Better than VB or MB, actually drinkable, but barely.

Bottle (375ml). Poured a clear yellow with a foamy white head which was mostly lasting. Aroma was of wet paper, hay and corn. Flavor was of musky wet cardboard, sweet cornish malts with a very light bitterness. Light bodied with lively carbonation, watery texture, dry mouthfeel and a short finish.

Was sure I rated this but never put the details in,anyway light gold colour aroma is lemon like,flavour slight hoppy flavour but the bitter is not the best and there is a sour like finish,no Boag,s are not my favourite brewer.

Damn this shit is abysmal. When you thought drain cleaner was undrinkable you get this come along. This liquid should be sold in hardware stores along side the paint stripper and caustic soda. No wonder Martin Bryant snapped and killed 35 people.

Awful awful swill. Like a bitter metallic glass of cocoa, except that its cold and tastes like chemicals and doesn’t have the cocoa flavour. Perhaps a marshmellow would improve it though. Shame on you Tasmania.
