Drinkers Review:
Another in my self-imposed torture of reviewing heavily marketed Aussie lagers and this was all I had left in the fridge over the weekend! This lager has always been an option when the only other thing on tap is VB or Carlton Draught, and only because the on tap version is -0.4 degrees Celsius, which means you can't even taste how bad it is! Unfortunately, it looks a lot better than it tastes, but that's not saying much. I feel a headache coming on every time I down a few cans or schooners of this brew. This beer is a macro beer, no excuses offered. It is structured to move great volume at the expense of flavor, smell and texture. It’s cheap as chips and you get what you pay for.
