What demon from hell created this? It has a putrid chemical taste that makes even VB taste good. A sickly claw at the back of your mouth starts the taste followed by a robust lingering taste of vomit. The vomit is complex and swirls around the palate before finishing up as metal shavings. Truely dire.

Is there a worse beer on the planet?? Still at least it's clear.

...I have drank this many times, but I despise that weird aftertaste, I don’t know what it is, but it is horrible and you still taste it in the morning after a night of a slab.

Bottle. Pours yellow with small white head. Not much going on here, about the only time I would choose to drink this would be if it’s chilled to -1 degree AND it’s 49(minimum) degrees outside. And I am outside. And there was no water anywhere and I had to drink it to survive.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot I had tasted this generic puke: I suppose that was due to the obvious undifferentiability issue concerning all CUBs products. Whatever... half a star because that’s as low as it go.

The flagship of all that is horrid about Australian lagers. I can’t think of a single positive element. It tastes awful, metallic and has a vile chemical after taste. It smells like a freshly opened can of Ajax. Carlton has no excuse to make beers this bad. It’s sadly one of the most popular beers in Australia though.

I would rather drink a bottle of cat's urine than this muck. How anyone in their right mind would pay $2.80 for a pot of this shite is beyond me. This stuff should be illegal.

basicly filtered and re-labeled vb from what i can gather, not much to differentiate it from vb really, cheap and nasty, drink as cold as possible if at all
