COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This product displays the fullness and balance of CUB's traditional lagers. The fruity/yeasty aroma and increased bitterness produces a tasty drop.

Jade (294) - AUSTRALIA - MAR 19, 2010
Clear amber, looks like coloured water. Head vanishes almost immediately. Unpleasant, yeasty aroma. Bitter to the taste, very metallic. No discernable qualities.

Davros (919) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JAN 14, 2010
Pale gold pour with a small head. Dirty aroma of stale beer, grainy malt and cardboard. Cooked corn and cardboard make up the flavours. Pretty high carbonation.

Bottle 375ml. @ home.
Clear medium yellow amber color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, artificial caramel, light to moderate gypsum - lime stone. Flavor is light moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration, cardboard and gypsum - lime stone. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20091207]

Bov (7098) - Bienne, SWITZERLAND - OCT 1, 2009
from Bier-Bienne - golden-bronze colour with an irregular foam; flowery hints in the nose; medium-bodied and a tart effervescence; sweet and with a shy bitterness; quite dry flowery finish

Allen (2394) - SWITZERLAND - SEP 6, 2009
Bottled 375ml. Pale golden with an extremely fast diminishing fizzy white head. Disgusting aroma of vomit, boiled vegetables, old socks and sour apples. Metallic. Vomit, gone off cheese and old socks showing up in the taste. Very similar to Victoria Bitter in my opinion. One of the worst beers I have ever had.

mkel07 (1556) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - AUG 1, 2009
375ml bottle. Looks okay for a cartlon beer and has a good foamy head and a clear amber colour. The overpowering hop aroma quickly spoils any other aromas that may be trying to come through. Strong bitterness but lacks flavour.

NoiZe (2325) - Amersfoort, NETHERLANDS - JUN 24, 2009
Had this one during my holiday in Australia april/may 2009. Golden colored brew. Malty, dusty aroma. Flavor is sweet, crisp, bitterness, a bit sticky. Not really good. But... when it’s 34 degrees celcius it’s great.

UPDATED: JUN 10, 2009 If VB in terms of shittiness is like being hit by a Kingswood with a 150kg bogan driving it, MB is the same thing with a 100kg bogan. Puke inducingly shit like VB, but a bit diluted so ever so slightly more bearable. Still, I’d only drink it if I was dying of thirst and this was all there was on offer, but It’d probably kill me with it’s shittiness anyway.
