Jun 21, 2006 The first beer I ever drank. This doesn’t make it a good beer by any stretch, but has a special place in my heart.
Appearance: more appealing on a hot summers day.

Jun 16, 2006 Pours yellow with almost no head. Not much of a smell, pretty watery taste and only a little bitter. Not great but goes down well on a hot day.

May 29, 2006 Updated: Jan 22, 2007Yellow. A light American beer with a bad aftertaste. All the Aussies traveling abroad and talking about VB must have done it solely to dupe Americans that travel to Australia. Drank in Sydney near Chinatown.

Golden colour. Hops are present in aroma. Also, the good old feeling of "this is what beer smelled when I was a kid" is there. Hop flavour is detected, light bitterness.Pretty flawless. Bit dry and old fashioned. Yes, this is what lager beer tasted in the 70´s?

May 25, 2006 Updated: Oct 6, 2006What more is there to be said about this beer? Perhaps only that it is slightly better than Melbourne Bitter.

May 22, 2006 After barely being able to finish my Fosters Special Bitter, I found this just a tad bit better. The aroma was on the sweet side of things with a citrusy aroma, like orange juice gone bad. Appearance was a dark reddish/brown. Mouthfeel was pretty watery. The bitterness in the drink wasn’t all that bad and perhaps the best beer I’ve had so far from Oz. I won’t be going out of my way though to find this mediocre beer as there’s plenty of that being brewerd here in the states.

May 17, 2006 [bottle from JDW] I don’t particularly have a lot to say about this beer, it doesnt really smell or taste of anything and its watery as hell. Gets you drunk if you drink enough of it i suppose :/
