as XXXX Export Gold in Ontario. Weak grain aroma, poured a pale gold yellow. Minimal carbonation, with slight hop flavours that leave no aftertaste. Overall it’s okay but I probably won’t be trying this again.

does not count  Apr 13, 2008 Having lived in Queensland this is the kind of beer you drink as a teenager when you don’t know any better and can’t afford anything else. That or Carlton Cold anyway. There’s isn’t much of anything too it, there’s a reasonable bitterness to it but it lacks even a hint of body, colour, aroma and pours a nothing head.

Mar 29, 2008 Once undisputed king of beers here in Queensland it is rarely promoted nowadays, Lion Nathan seem to be intent on replacing it with Toohey’s New. Over the last 5 years the flood of imported and ’licenced’ brands such as Stella Artois, Heineken, Becks and Bavaria has eaten into the XXXX market. It is no longer available on tap in North Queensland although the XXXX Gold mid strength brand is still being promoted heavily.
