Gold pour,neat head,lace is good,has a hoppy aroma but from there it lacks much,bitter is fair,boags has a blunt flavour to it,s beers and it was there at the finish of this one.

750ml Longneck, poured a light amber. Average aroma but decent body and flavour. Good for the price.

375 ml bottle - Golden/amber colour. White, mostly lasting head. Medium carbonation. Sweet malt with a slight honey flavour in the background. Mildly bitter leaving the finish slightly on the sweet side. One of the better Australian macro lagers.

Orange/amber in colour with a thin white head which rapidly dissapates. Medium bodied with average to high carbonation. Bitter mouthfeel with a slightly metalic aftertaste. Crisp dry finish.

Brilliant draught beer, not done justice outside of northern Tasmania due to only being sold bottled. By far one of the best in the country on tap.

Bottle -- Pours a nice amber colour with quite a decent white head that lasts well and leaves fair lacing. Aroma is gentle with a touch of hops and, perhaps, honey. Pleasant flavour although a bit of a metallic mouthfeel. Definitely better than most macro lagers and thoroughly drinkable.

Not bad, very similar to VB, nothing to get excited about, a good everyday beer that gets the job done.

Bottle. Pretty poor, a very mainstream Australian lager taste. Surely just an elaborate marketing ploy to make the premium boags seem a whole lot more premium.

Not a bad draught this. A bit flat on the palate and I swear I got a killer hangover from too many one night but it is better than most Aussie cheap ’draughts’. Could be a bit more bitter but generally clean and crisp.

750ml bottle. Golden, frothy, crisp with not much newspaper. Good for poker nights.
