1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20 Sevenlee (365) - Central Coast, NSW, AUSTRALIA - FEB 4, 2012
Very little to say about this. Weak malt aroma, weak malt taste. Rubbish. About the same as every Australian macro beer.

when was growing up (in Sydney in the 70s) we only had about a dozen beers to choose from. i didn’t know any better. i remember the first time my Dad brought home a six pack of carlton draught. it was in a white can, with a cerulean symbol and a picture of a glass of golden beer. i remember thinking it was by far the best beer i had ever tasted. now that i know a bit more, i know that i like the "diacetyl" taste that is prominent in this beer. i still find it lively, refreshing and reminiscent of those "heady" days of youth, university, young women, lebanese restaurants (all you could eat for $2) etc.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 Westmeister (463) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - AUG 8, 2011
Bottle. Pours a golden yellow with no head. Smell is of wet hay with skunky factor. Taste is initially sweet with more hay and extremely lively carbonation. I think someone told me this is simply the Aussie domestic version of the exported Fosters. I believe it. Was good at the AFL game but not the second time I had it. Just goes to show you atmosphere has a lot to do with the feelings on a beer.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20 mpurse (5) - Prospect, AUSTRALIA - JUL 29, 2011 does not count
I consider this the best of the worst for mainstream major brewery beers in Australia, and it’s still not great. Dough/bready aroma and taste, verging on going mouldy. If someone made a cheap "Beer Essence" (think Vanilla Essence) this is what it’d taste like. Cheap, bland, easily reproduced.
1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 2/20 maneliquor (1006) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - JUN 11, 2011
Not very good. And for $45 a case its laughable that anyone would buy it, let alone be able to drink a case
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 michclark (88) - AUSTRALIA - MAY 31, 2011
passable beer. Nice appearance and good aroma. not much else to note. good for try at least
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20 StuffWine (42) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - MAY 13, 2011
Bottle. Poured a very clear and pale amber with a fluffy white head that diminished to strange white clumps of suds. Not much aroma; might be of stale white bread. Yep, lacks in flavour with a long finish of... how did someone else put it?... stale socks, yeah, that unfortunately lasted long. Overly fizzy and light on palate. Overall, would still buy it rather than a Carona (and its cheaper).

What can be said? This is not a good beer. Basically a carbon copy of other macrobrew lagers. Drink only if alcohol is needed and this is the only thing available.
