Can; No aroma to speak of and a quickly fading white head. Very watery metallic flavour. Nothing special at all.

bookman10 (301) - Osseo, Minnesota, USA - JAN 6, 2009
One of the better of the pale lagers or bitter variety brewed in Australia. Pale gold in color. Large head. Faint hop aroma with a bit of a metallic aftertaste--what is it with that metallic aftertaste in Australian beers?

Travlr (4529) - Washington, Washington DC, USA - DEC 13, 2008
A fairly generic bitter, light bodied. No aroma. Pale golden with thin head. Faint hops in the finish. Missable.

I realize this isn’t a blog, but having read the comments, believe me the US is loaded with crap just like this. I’ll give it a 1.9 rating so as to not alter the average.

This is slightly better than its green-labelled VB sibling... but only just.

...MB, MB, MB, the shit drank to get drunk. Get through two, and you should be over the nasty over bitterness, and lack of good flavor. If you are complaining about the taste, drink another.
