Victoria Bitter has been Australia's favorite full strength beer brand for many years. VB, as it is widely known, was launched in the 1890s and since then has developed a reputation as a great beer with a tradition of rewarding Australians who work and play hard.

Used to drink it a lot when I was younger - at sub zero temperature - have grown wiser these days. Chemical rubbish, doesn’t really taste like beer and not refreshing at all. No malt or hop flavours. Not recommended.

The pride of Victoria, but pretty much equal with bud. Has to be served ice cold to be decent. You have to try it cause its so popular but its rubbish.

Tastes alright at near subzero temperatures. Otherwise, tastes God awful, will make you retch, is favoured by absolute morons, will give you a toxic hangover and give you a massive case of heartburn after 2 bottles. Most of my friends call this "Vaginal Backwash" for good reason, it’s toxic shit.

The 2 degree special. That is the recommended temprature this beer has to be to drink it. So cold you cannot taste it. Lift the temp by a degree and you get an unbalanced lager with little to compare itself an actual bitter. Down the list of Carlton United Beers worth trying.

250ml bottle. Amber in colour with a small head of sudsy big bubbles. The head fades to a white shadow on top of the beer. Aroma of malt and hops, bitter and pungnent. Thin bodied with little taste and mild bitterness. No real flavour.

Good color. Decent head. wouldnt call this a bitter one. A flavor of malt with a slight bitter aftertaste.

Rating #400, entered. ON tap @ Holiday Inn Sydney. . Yup, a pale lager, and guess what it tastes like a pale lager , this one has some grassy sweetness to it, but its boring anyway.

375 ml bottle. Newport, Wales. Golden colour with medium head. Bitter and malty aroma. Slightly bitter lager, not really a bitter. I guess this should be served cold.
