Had out of many cans and bottles, a true Australian classic. Bitter taste and finish. Not bad when considered against American macrobrews. Still, far from special. I’m not sure if this will show as an update or not but I must note that United Airlines 747’s are stocked with this on flights traversing the Pacific Ocean from U.S. to Auz. Killed these like there was no tomorrow. Anytime a stewerdess looked at me, she knew she better god damn have a can of this in her hand. I shoved a few of the empty ones in my buddy Phil’s hoodie. I drank a 40oz of this in the streets of melbourne, paper baggy and all. I had it on tap. I had it in a little green bottle while dining at the Sydney Opera House. This beer is a staple of ’down under’ Do not deny it!

I had way too many of these on the flight over. haha. Well, kind of bitter. Very popular in Australia. I guess it’s like Bud Light over here. Kind of bitter taste. Some malt in the aroma. But aside from that just bland. But it was a different feel from the Bud products!!

Malt aroma with clear golden colour and little head. Bitter flavour with flat palate.

Its not a fancy pants beer - with strong textures and flavours. Its a beer for drinkers, clean crisp taste, bitter. Great for whittling away a thirst.

Horses for courses. This is by any estimate a chemical based bad beer. However, sometimes its so bad its good... on a warm day at a BBQ when drunk freezing cold. Are worse at this price on the Aust mkt. Brings back memories of getting drunk at Uni.

Not pleasant, from the first smell after twisting the top off to the foul after taste. I agree with alphaone, how doies this beer sell so well in Australia. Maybe its got something to do with the Criminal heritage. A drink for bogans and people with no taste buds only.
