Commercial Description:
Victoria Bitter has been Australia's favorite full strength beer brand for many years. VB, as it is widely known, was launched in the 1890s and since then has developed a reputation as a great beer with a tradition of rewarding Australians who work and play hard.

Wow! This is wonderful! Very sweet aroma of honey and molasses. Light amber in color, slightly cloudy. Nice thick head that laces the glass. Flavor is barley, molasses, hints of fruit. Wonderful! Smooth on the palate. Drank it warm... oh yeah, and this bottle is 3 years old. That might explain something to you low-raters. :)

Since coming to Melbourne, I’ve been slowly going through the list of local delights but this is a terrible drink. I guess its a local taste. Metallic aftertaste and artificial taste.

Bottle. Pale amber with slight loose white head. Faint aroma, maybe malt with a hint of something vegetable. Light body with medium carbonation. Very bland flavour vaguely malty but with an unpleasant metallic bitterness in the finish. Overall, I can drink VB, but it has a subtle offputting artificial / chemical taste.

Bottle (and can). How could one make it through Vic without VB? Lawnmower beer Australia style.

A below average lager, thin bodied, quite bitter throughout, it’s drinkable...

Bottle 375ml. Pours a clear golden body with a medium size white head. Sweet hops in the nose. Pretty neutral flavour with a little hops and sweet/bitter aftertaste.
