I can see why this beer swept the local awards. A magnificent beer, up there with the best i have tried.

Cool. Nice beer I reckon. Hit the proverbial spot on a hot day last week... I reckon this is what a pilsener Urquell mixed with a XXXX would taste like. Cool. Is that Saaz hops in there?

Slight fruity spicy aroma with clear amber colour and good head. Short sweet fruit flavour with flat smooth finish.

Bottled. At the Sydney Fish Markets. Golden body with a fine white head, that was well maintained throughout. Enjoyed with a dozen Sydney Rock Oysters and a Dozen Coffin Bay Pacific, the beer was a well made and present larger.

Clean soft lager with big nose; I don’t know what Southwark have changed, but this is not as good as 3-4 years ago when it won lotza gold. Insipid, bland light Saaz, more bitter and light finish. European style beer. Great with curries especially satay.

mullet (847) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - OCT 15, 2004
UPDATED: SEP 22, 2006 Clear gold, reasonable head for half the glass, poor head for the other half. Smooth caramel, diacetyl and a tiny tiny bit of hop aroma. Not that dissimilar to bottled PU really. The malt comes through nicely. Nice malty flavour again, but the hop flavour seems very metallic. Quite fizzy too. This really isn’t that far from Urquell at all, it’s just lacking that little bit of finesse.

I was quite disappointed with this beer. My old man had recommended it, but I don't think it really suits my tastes. By no means a bad lager, simply lacks in that certain character that makes a great lager. Maybe not to my likings too much, but I could recommend it to anyone whos looking for an Australian lager.

One of the better premium aussie styles, Great balance and a beer that you can keep drinking all night. Light on the fizz for easy consumption.
