This beer is more expensive than other Aussie beers, but I think it's well worth it. It's not too harsh, very smooth and has a brilliant malty aftertaste. You can usually find a 6 pack of this in my fridge.

Really good beer, not that I’m Australian, but actually tastes pretty good, a bit bitter though.

A surprisingly complex lager with excellent hops-malt balance. Great mouthfeel.

If i could change the australian flag id put this beer on it. Its not for everyone given but being a strong lager drinker nothing come better smooth rich flavour. A sensationl golden bubble filled colour finshing in a good head.

Benzai (2711) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - NOV 1, 2011
Bottle @ home, shared with Dutchdrebus. Standard yellow / golden pilsener color, average sized white head, sparkling body. Standard average pilsener smell as well: malts, lightly grainy, little bit bitter. Taste is better than average though: pretty fruity, ok bitterness. Quite decent pilsener.

A very easy summer beer. Less edgy then many of the newer beers coming on the local market however the only way you would know it was premium is from the label. Great for a aussie local but not quite world class

It’s a classic. Despite limitations in depth and finish, still the standard gateway for aussies to the concept of a top shelf beer

Nemo (100) - Fremantle, AUSTRALIA - JUN 29, 2004
Light Gold in colouring with a thick frosty smallish sized head which lasts a long time. Malty, and somewhat of a fruity aroma. A hint of malty, fruitnessy at the start. This beer must be drunk cold and quickly. I find that it flattens out and becomes very bland if you don’t swill it.
