37.5 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a creamy white head. Light malt and corn aroma. Flavour is medium sweet corn with a light bitterness. Ends with a mild bitterness and a light alcohol note.

Golden with a small white head. Grainy malt and a touch of spicy hops in the aroma. Sweet and thin grainy flavour.

Probably the best beer here in Victoria. It doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s hopeless on a world scale but if we want to rate it amongst the local mass produced(1) sh*t, this one takes the prize. 1. when compared against Carlton Draught, VB, MB and XXXX.

Just don’t know how it can make the claim "finest beer". but marketing rubbish to one side, this has taken a while to review and only because there were some leftovers from a recent party. Aroma is skunky, appearence is gold straw with trademark CUB Chemical head. Flavour is a mix of corn sweetness, cardboard and abrupt POR bitterness.

Bottle, yellowish pale colour, thin lacing, watery, a bit malty, slighty sweetish, strong in alcohol volume but this is certainly not mirrored in taste. Poor.

aroma sort of boring, but relatively strong. looks real great, clear yellow with nice smallish white head, looks refreshing flavor is a slight sour, and generally boring - thirst quencher, but far from the best, also a little watery (should not be at 4.9%) another version: aroma like cheap beer, sunburned beer. poured clear yellow with very large and thick head for a macro. flavor was sweet and dry, sweetness subtle and good balance for the bitterness (from hops i think) flavor 6 or 7. palate 3 (nice and soft) overall 11. Bottle claimed contents to be brewed by CROWN BEVERAGES, 77 southbank boulevard, southbank, victoria 3006 australia, no golden neck, same logo but pictured differently, label says CROWN and lager in much smaller letters underneath.
