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.

Westmeister (464) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - AUG 8, 2011
Can. Pours a straw clear color with fizzy white head that leaves decent lacing. Smell is of wet hay and a little sour and sweetness. Taste is not horible, but I wouldn’t care to drink this on any regular basis. Just a plain ole lager with a sweet and mildly bitter malt/hop presence. Moving on.

Benzai (2298) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - AUG 7, 2011
Bottle @ home shared with DutchDrebus. Clear yellow color, almost no head. Don’t smell much. Taste bitter and malts. Low body but nice carbo for only 4.6%ABV.

reebtogi (1568) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - JUL 27, 2011
375mL bottle poured pale golden color with light white head and good carbonation, bittering hops did not agree with me, and needs a little more malt to balance it out.

ClubGonzo (1732) - Bergen, NORWAY - JUL 19, 2011
Bottle from Thai supermarket. Pale lager body, medium diminishing white head. Very low on aroma, some pale malt hints. Taste is dusty hops, pale malts and very little else. Just another PL tick.

daje (520) - NORWAY - JUL 18, 2011
Bottle from Centra Majorstua. Light golden color, tiny white head. Aroma of straw and malts, taste of caramel with a flowery hint. A bit refreshing, but no after taste destroys what could have been an ok lager

50belair (933) - Florida, USA - JUL 16, 2011
Bottle. Golden pour with a foamy white head. No real aroma. The taste follows suit with generic hops, yeast, and malt. The budweiser of ozz pretty much rival it’s American counterpart by thirsting the quenches of the masses...
