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! haddon90 (1036), Alexandria, Virginia, USA

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!!

Its a beer for drinkers, clean crisp taste, bitter. Great for whittling away a thirst. madquacker (719), Canberra ACT, Australia
| 1.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 1/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 4/20 | Apr 24, 2004 Updated: Apr 26, 2004Horses 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. whiterabbit (20), Australia
| 1.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/20 | Apr 18, 2004 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.
