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.

This beer really is very bitter on the palate. There is nothing good about this beer. It is rubbish, yet is Australia’s top selling domestic beer. Don’t bother trying it.

First on almost tastes like beer - downhill all the way to the hangover after that. My advice is stay well clear.

A good everyday beer, Australia’s most popular beer, i prefer Melbourne Bitter or Carlton Draught.

This stuff is absolute shit. I reckon in terms of generic australia beer, only tooheys Red sinks below this. Stay away if you value your health, or life.

Anglofile (138) - Piti, GUAM - OCT 10, 2006
Bottle. Amber, poor head no encouragement to drink. Aromas of nut and solvent, slight woodand pine flavours and a thin dry finish. Stronger than other Australian lagers.
