Aug 8, 2008 Bottle atop Canberra’s black mountain radio tower.
After a hike from the University up to the top of black mountain, I was in the mood for a beer and this was the best that they seemed to have to offer up in the cafe atop the needle. (Not that I could complain - I was very happy to discover that indeed they had beer at all.) Yeahm this was a pretty bland pale lager, maybe a bit more crisp than some US alternatives....but a bland fizzy pale lager.

Aug 7, 2008 As standard and uninteresting as it can be, a winner if you enjoy a decent pale larger though

Aug 4, 2008 VB is a real thirst quencher, best experienced on a hot day. I recently bought some on a wintery night and the taste left a lot to be desired.
Still, it is cheap to buy VB in NZ.

Jul 28, 2008 Bottle. A lager, tastes a bit watery but I suppose is worthy of drinking when you are dying of thirst. Even fosters doesn’t get that much credit.

Jul 4, 2008 I will stick my neck out here and come to a bit of a defense of poor old VB. Firsty, "bitter" has a different meaning in Australia. Bitter is a lager in Oz and not a hoppy ale. These types of beers don’t seem to transplant well to countries with cooler climates. Fiji Bitter, Indonesia’s Bintang and Australia’s VB are incredibly suited for the countries where they originate. Nothing like a cold VB on a hot Australian day.
Yes, the beer snob in me knows that they are not technically "great beers" but I still have a soft spot for VB. Cheers mate!
