COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Victoria Bitter has been Australia’s favorite full strength beer brand for many years. VB, as it is widely known, was launched in the 1890s and since then has developed a reputation as a great beer with a tradition of rewarding Australians who work and play hard.

The alcohol percentage went down from 4.8% to 4.6% in 2009.

ekstedt (3624) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - MAR 29, 2007
Bottle. Clear golden, medium white head. A decent lager, but quite boring. Plain malt aroma, some hints of hops. A bit watery, and a mild bitterness in the finish.

Best part is how fizzy it gets on the palate. Love the beefy, strong taste but gets a little boring. As an Aussie and a Victorian, would love to give this a better rating but.... yeah

Not a brilliant beer, but since moving away from Tassie I have had to choose between Carlton and this, and, as much as it cops a bagging the olf "vomit bomb" goes down allright.

375ml bottle. Clear golden color. Sorry, reminded me of budweiser and Molson dry. Tasted most of the chemicals and that’s it. Not good for me!
