maybe it's the queensland heat getting to me but i enjoyed this a lot more than i expected. quite luscious vanilla mango malt. zero hops but that still beats pride of ringwood. full-bodied for a midstrength

Can purchased in Ireland. Pours clear orange body. Aroma is light malt. Flavor is nothing. Bland, boring, no alcohol?? LAME brew.

UPDATED: JUL 7, 2005 Nothing much going on here. Pours a pale gold, clear, with a Houdini-head. Little aroma bar some ’tinny’ dank liquor and a little malt. Similar in the mouth, watery thin, gassy and marred by cardboard malt tones. I don’t think Lion Nathan care much for the level of intelligence the beer drinking public in Australia possess, because this was awful. Bland and forgettable.

Far, far better than XXXX Gold, this beer wa sa definite surprise to me. It was reasonably drinkable.

Why call a beer like this a Sovereign Superior Lager when it is a mid-strength piece of piss? No more to say.

Still not sure what the point of mid-strength beer is. This is the 1st premium mid-strength I have had, and definitely the best.

definetly better than xxxx gold as far as mid-strenght beer goes, but that's not saying much at all, rubbish aussie lager.

This beer has a gold yellow body - hue with a bitter initial flavor and a light body.

Mild hoppy aroma, nce gold colour with big head. Clean hoppy flavour with mild bitter tatse. Not bad for mid strength beer.

Took me while to find the aroma , and then the taste ! Thought this tasted ok 18 months my how my tastes have changed!
