Tooheys Extra Dry Platinum

Brewed by Tooheys (Lion Nathan Co.)
Style: Pale Lager
Lidcombe, Australia

345ml bottle. Pale and opaque straw colour with a decent snow white cap . Good carbonation with a skunky detergent aroma that does nothing to invite you in. Crisp finish with a very beery taste that reminded me of days spent swilling cheap mass produced beer in my youth.

Bottle. Absolutely awful stuff. It is advertised on the basis of its high 6.5% alcohol content, and after actually tasting it I can see why. One certainly would not advertise it on the basis of flavour, since it posesses none whatsoever. It looks like beer, and contains, as stated, a large amount of alcohol, yet remarkably enough, neither the flavour nor the aroma would suggest that it is any more than slightly muddy water with a teaspoon of sugar added. If you’re looking to get blind, and you intensely dislike beer, then this is the beer for you. However, if you do feel that way, for the same price and alcohol content you could instead buy a cheap premix, which will at least taste like something, albeit nothing pleasant. Thus, even if you do hate beer, avoid this beer. It’s simply not worth it.

Bottle - Pours a pale yellow with a plastic like rocky head. No aroma and a metallic flavour. Best avoided and I still have 7 of the bloody things taking up room in my fridge!

Marks given to this shit only due to the high alcohol content, which is good if you’re in a self loathing mood and want to drink yourself into hospital. Take the repulsive metal and animal piss flavour of the regular extra Dry and double it. Yes, that bad. Avoid like the fucking plague.

Golden colour with diminishing head. Weak aroma of corn and brewing cereal. Thin bodied and high carbonation and slight dryness in the finish.

This beer is about as clean and as crisp as a mouthful of water from the Thames. It’s a well marketed beer for those who do not like th taste of beer, but then that could be said about nearly every commercially brewed Australian beer.

...bottle. I have had worse, but this was up there in the nasty factor. Goes down relatively smooth, but holy hell there is no good flavor at all. All there is as far as taste is metal and alcohol, which is not good, unless it is music, but this is "beer". High alcohol content, and will get you ripped, but otherwise, complete shit. Reminds me of shit they have in the US for bums to drink.

My son gave me one of these,great son but his flavours get mixed up.Mild gold colour with good head and carbonation a n aroma of hops and sea air like.Alas the flavour was straight metallic first mouthfull and very dry,tried another mouthfull some flavour of hop but all metallic and finish the same.He then tasted the Pils I was drinking and then re-tasted the tooheys,wish he had never bought it.
