I'm strangely found of this macro lager for some reason. It seems to have less of a chemical taste than some of the main Aussie players. Its easy to drink and can go for quite the session.

Bottled. Hundered of...doohhh.Massive session with the old man in Brisbane. The session encompassed some European quality I brought with me but this was the back bone of the session. A rather empty beer that holds, lack flavour, class or finess. Moderate bitterness, then body and palate.

UPDATED: OCT 23, 2003 Its better than its sister VB . Some more bitterness was welcomed,probably my favourite of the CUB clan but still nothing to write home to mum about. cheers

Mainstream beer with a tiny bit more flavour than VB. Pretty much the same beer despite all the victorians protests.

UPDATED: OCT 10, 2003 One of the better drops produced by CUB. Wouldn't buy it myself, but if its between this and VB, I know what id chose.

UPDATED: NOV 21, 2003 A little better than it looks, a bit of flavour, nice amount of bitterness. I wasnt expecting big things but this is a half reasonable beer. Just.

This is a wonderful, well balanced, big tasting lager. Of course, I am a habitual liar.

I used to drink this stuff religously. Then I got a life and drank other beers. I then realised how bad Melbourne Bitter and other CUB beers really are. It does keep my bowels regular though!
