Hoppy chemical flavour, that reminds me of a cross between the aluminium can it comes in and chlorine. I only had one of these, but i could tell that a lot of them would give you a massive headache the next day. Pretty sweet and gross.

Dark golden color with a white head. Sweet aroma of malt and metallic citrus. Flavors follow suit with the aromas. Another oil can of suds.

makes me cast my mind back to the days when australian cricketers played in flares. quite hoppy and dry and with a real aluminium flavour that you can still taste the next morning. worth getting once in a while for a stroll down memory lane

In the can. Pours typical Oz golden yellow with a bubbly white head much like most of the other CUB offerings. While this is not the best beer that I’ve ever had, it certainly is no worse than MB or VB. Maybe differs from the others in that it has a slight vegetable flavor in addition to the sugar adjunct. I remember this being available in the states many years ago in the giant oil cans alongside Fosters.

Gold with good white head. The nose and palate both smack of tinfoil, or some metallic flavor.

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.

375ml can. Didn’t realise that they still made KB . Bright amber colour with a fluffy white head. Barley and hay aroma , pretty bland and not too much to get excited about. Clean, crisp sweet flavour that is not as bad as expected. Okay overall.

It was good when I was 16. But so was Black Tower liebfraumilch and cheese fondues.
