Drinkers Review:

I grabbed a few 500mL bottles to try this at home. It poured a beautiful dark amber colour with a large, long-lasting head. One of the better mid-strength beers going around. The "Garden" name might steer some blokes away but that's their loss! Lovely ice-cold, particularly on a hot summers afternoon as you suck one back next to the pool. Then you grab another and suck that back too! Not the best beer ever tried but it is drinkable and refreshing if you are willing to give it a go. Go grab a few of these beers of the garden variety!
