Pale golden, clear, medium head. I wouldn’t go so far as calling this "foul", but it is pretty boring. Sweet malt is really all you get for flavour (the same as all corn-adjunct, over-processed pale lagers on the market). I wouldn’t choose to drink it again if an alternative were available, but I wouldn’t turn it down if the beerfridge was empty on a Friday night. This is my standard review for all "two-star-or-less" piss.

To call this premium of any description is a joke. A blandness passing off as dry. Very dull. Crap marketing too.

Clear yellow, spiderweb head. Quite distinctive raspberry sorbet aroma (perhaps more like raspberry-flavoured soap or something,) but quite yeasty, hair spray, wholemeal bread and perhaps even a touch of malt! Yeasty, lightly sweet flavour, no hop, a touch of astringency. I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen anyone buy or drink this - I bet Tooheys Extra Dry outsells this ten to one in Victoria. Lots of crazy aromas keeps this interesting enough.

Almost like beer, no hop flavour or malt profile, cane sugary mid palate(very very not dry) and slight drying bitterness, no aftertaste.

Yellowish in colouring with a small white cloudy head. Tinnie, malty sort of aroma. Bland in flavour with a hint of fruity, almost bittery taste. Although the beer is Crisp and clean, its got nothing much else to offer.

Pale straw colour with a frothy white head and good lacing. Hop aroma. Not a lot of taste, thin, a touch of lemon and a touch of banana and not much else.

This is terrible stuff, the mrs bought a case when it first came out cos it was on special. All its good for is making beer batter for fish & chips

Bottled, with Sats, in Sydney. Cats piss yellow an unable to maintain a head. Rancid corn aroma and flavour, not even particularly dry. Absolute rubbish in a bottle.
