Like licking the pavement on Parramatta Rd, heaps of rubber and metal in there with some raw alchohol in the finish, also got some boiled carrots in the finish. Pretty terrible.

I didn't buy this one, nor would you ever see it in my fridge. Some sort of marketing whiz kid at CUB trying to leverage off the unsuspecting drinker. In a nutshell, this is crap. It's a shit beer with a cheap nasty shot of vodka that looks like watered down lucasade...and tastes like a rusty nail dipped in vinegar. Steer clear.

and in a move that would make practically ever serious beer lover baulk at the knees, CUB adds a shot a vodka in their bland range of beer in order to get the young and hip crowds drunk faster. Now all they need is a bottle with a wider neck and this beer is complete.

UPDATED: AUG 13, 2003 The funniest beer in the universe. Thanks to motelpogz for sharing a bottle with me. It hides the vodka really well, which is amazing since the foundation beer (Coldy) has no taste at all. Remarkable achievement and a Westie pinup beer for sure. This'll be all over Walgett parties when I next return home. Best wishes.

My wife asked me to clean the toilet on the weekend. We were out of toilet cleaner and so was the local supermarket. I went next door to the bottle shop and bought a stubby of this muck and you know what...it worked a treat. Had one sip before I emptied the contents on the sides of the toilet bowl and wished I had not. Nuff said.
