Sep 30, 2006 Surprised to see the ratings are so low for this. I like it. Deep headless amber. Offensively metallic nose with a waft of fruit. Quite a tastily rounded balance of bready malt and very abrupt, sharply yeasty dryness unusual in either a lager or bitter. A firm, not unpleasantly metallic bitterness. Is it meant to taste like this?

Sep 22, 2006 In the can aboard United Airlines to Sydney. In the stubbie bottle at Ippon Sushi bar in Chinatown. Pours a rich gold color with a big poofy white head. I soon learned that this was the normative appearance of Australian beer. Has a strong lager yeast aroma. This is a mild beer with medium carbonation. I’m not sure why this is called a "bitter" as it is a fairly non-descript pale lager. Great at quenching wasabi. Leaves a mild residual hop bitterness on an otherwise forgetful palate. This is the ubiquitous beer (along with Tooheys New) in New South Wales.

Sep 11, 2006 Updated: Sep 16, 2006Clear yellow with no head. Corn and cat urine flavour. Soft drink carbonation. Maybe that’s what Victoria tasted like, poor prince Albert.

Sep 11, 2006 Beer 29 Summer 2006 trip in Europe. Drank on 7/3/06 in the bottle at The Delerium Cafe in Brussels. I thought why not try the supposedly real macro of Australia if I had the chance. Its a light drinkable beer with not much there. Glad I tried it, but I won’t seek out again any time soon.

Aug 26, 2006 Bottle. Clear, deep golden with a rather small head. Strange aroma, somewhat herbal. Flavours are sweet and herbal also, worse than the aroma. Even the local Ringnes lager is better. Down the drain - hope it does not pollute- not worth the calories. Shame on the Systembolaget for stocking this as beer.

Aug 22, 2006 Bottle. A good beer if it is ice cold and the heat is getting to you. Don’t go to it if you’re looking for flavor or something exciting.
