KB Lager is the greatest brew ever made by man. It has the bestest taste and the finest ever head. Further more, my life life long hero reg reagan drinks this piss and it has been by his side since he was a 12 yr old. Moving on i would like to straight mouth that f*#@ wit who claimed this great brew was straight from a urinal trough, you are a joke buddy and you are deadset going nowhere in life, go and get stuffed. The brew you were drinking was goats piss you wanker!!!!!!

In a can. Or was it a urinal trough? This is THE worst heap of s#@t you will come across. Pale, dilapidated yellow, about as much head as your dead grandma manages, good ol’ CUB rougher-than-thou feral cigarette butt taste, and a good metallic kick that *might* just be due to the can (yeah, right). I really didn’ t think you could go lower than VB or Melbourne Bitter - I was wrong.

The can is a design classic. Shame CUB had to spoil things by putting beer in. Poured a bright gold with a short now-you-see-it-now-you-don’t head. Straight from the fridge, you’d need a search party to find an aroma. Faint cardboardy malt and POR hops. But agh, it’s sweet. Another classic hop-free CUB lager. Similar to VB in its total absence of bitterness. However, all said, it’s one of the less offensive lagers in the stable.

Quite a sweet concoction. Aroma is pretty clean with some steamy yeast and a tiny bit of sweet apple and banana, but you can tell it’s gonna taste sweet. Soda water flavour with sugar sweetness. There’s probably no more residual sugar in this than any other beer but it just seems sweet due to the complete absence of hops, which makes it seem a bit more refined I think though it’d probably get very sickly after a few. Some astringency. I like the can.

A Good Aussie Lawnmower beer. Brings back memories since I first tasted when my mum gave me some when I was 8.

madquacker (854) - Canberra ACT, AUSTRALIA - MAY 9, 2004
Overwhelming fizziness with a short arsenic finish. Even smells fizzy. Is really a classic piece of Aussie 70s design and flavour which has changed little with time. Makes one think of Dennis Lilley. Is pretty good value though, given it was only about A$1.50 for the can.

Can. I've never seen it served any other way. I'm sure it was on draught when I was a boy but I've never seen it in a bottle. Big burley gold beer, bubbly white head. Sharp bitter metallic tast. Solid bitter finish. A Classic 70's beer, almost fashionable again.
