Victoria Bitter

Brewed by Carlton & United Breweries (CUB)
Style: Pale Lager
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Hmm, awful sweet malty flavour followed by a bilious aftertaste and accompanying hangover the next day. Shocking.

Bottle, Wetherspoons in Glascow. Not what I expected. Urine yellow, fizzy, no head. Sweet with that gross taste that comes with cheap bad wine.

Poured a tawny yellow with a bug head that fell down into fine lace. Nose was sweet, familiar somehow, and led into a quenching mouthfeel. A whisper of hops and a rewarding swallow that left little to be desired. No doubt a fine session beer for what it is. I didn’t expect to be blown away.

the worst of the worst this is the worst Ozzy beer ever beats out xxxx by a little bit. if its this beer or nothing i will take nothing cause its bland

Bottle, in GB. Yellow with white head, mostly diminishing, no lacings. Aroma moderate malty and hoppy. Flavor light sweet, moderate bitter. Light body, watery, normal carbonated.

Drank this while having red wine sauced kangaroo burger at the Australian chain bar Walkabout, Temple, London. Standard taste, somewhat sharp on the mouth, just okay.

Pale golden, clear, medium head. I wouldn’t go so far as calling this "foul", but it is pretty boring. Sweet malt is really all you get for flavour (the same as all corn-adjunct, over-processed pale lagers on the market). I wouldn’t choose to drink it again if an alternative were available, but I wouldn’t turn it down if the beerfridge was empty on a Friday night. This is my standard review for all "two-star-or-less" piss. RE-RATE: I’ve had this TONS since I originally posted my rating, and I have to say that it is actually pretty bad. It is always stinky and corny and unclean tasting. Not a nice macro.

Draught at Irish Murphy, Ballarat. Yellowish golden, brief head. Dusty orangey hop aroma. Some coarse vegetably maltiness, low bitterness. I still do prefer the Australian version of cheap crappy lagers to most other cheap crappy lagers.
