Aug 3, 2003 Updated: Jan 3, 2006This stuff is about as bad it gets. How this can be called a beer is an embarrassment. It is nothing more than a bottle full of chemicals that happens to be 4.9% alcohol. Vile, unadulerated filth and I’m a Victorian.
RE-RATE: On a trip to the UK recently, I was bought a bottle of VB by one of my so-called friends and drank it as not to hurt his feelings. I was quite staggered at how much WORSE this is when it’s brewed in the UK. This was sickly sweet and metallic all rolled into one. I aint no fan of VB, but the Aussie version is completely unlike the UK version. Both are bad, but if forced to choose I’d take the Oz one every time. I couldn’t even finish the UK bottle.

Aug 1, 2003 Updated: Jan 4, 2004This was once good, or I remember it so, back in the 70's and early 80's. It has become mass produced blandness that looks like beer, but that is where the similarity ends. It is way too sweet and has no bitterness. It reminds me of fizzy weird pineapple juice. A sad indictment of Australian beer taste if this is the most popular. Not good. Cheers folks

Jul 31, 2003 This isn't such a good beer. However, this is a very inexpensive beer. It is very good for its price - when you buy a cheap beer you know what to expect.

Jul 4, 2003 Golden color. Simple aroma, almost stinking. Very simple body and watery final. Drinkable, useless.
