patrick767 (1449), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Jul 1, 2008 bottle sold as XXXX Export at 3 Alley in Seoul - I’m not completely sure the export version is the same beer (I believe Export is 4.5% abv and this listing says its 3.5%), but I think it’s pretty forgettable either way. It pours clear gold with a one finger white head. There’s a light pale malt aroma. The flavor is of lightly sweet malt and a little mild hops. It’s not a bad flavor, but like so many beers of this style there just isn’t much there to enjoy either. It’s thin on the palate and finish with minimal flavor. Oh well, at least it’s better than many pale lagers, which isn’t saying much.
SNC87 (2), , Wisconsin, USA does not count Sep 10, 2008 Spent 4 months in Australia (OZ) and this was one of my favorites while there!!! yalnikim (664), Wellington, New Zealand Sep 8, 2008 Tasted 30/08/2008 to 06/09/2008. Schooners mostly, with the odd pot. When you cycle 600km in a week, you get used to a few schooners or pots of this in the back country pubs and clubs. Drinkable but bland. Great if you are thirsty but have already consumer 4 litres of water or ’Replace’. rmussman (693), California, USA Jul 7, 2008 Overall this brew is quite bad. Has very little flavor, cheap malts. Not worthy a try. thesimmos (13), Brisbane, Australia May 1, 2008 When I think of QLD one of the first things I think of is XXXX and the next is mid stength beer. When it comes to midstrength mainstream beer, this one reigns supreme. a well rounded flavour that almost tastes like Queensland itself. Rough and raw yet strangely familiar and palatable. 3.5% and worth every drop. unless your paying at a sporting venue full price....
