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.

Bottle. Clear lighter gold and translucent, not much head, which died quickly. Light malty aroma with a touch of spicy noble-ish hop, and a hint of veggie corn. More light malty flavors with some slightly-metallic hop and grainy corn. Fairly clean and light-bitter finish.

BeerPrince (1701) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - JAN 14, 2006
Can. Golden body with a lasting frothy and fizzy white head. Aroma was corn and grainy. Dry, bland, grainy, and toasty flavour. Astringent, dry, thin, and light bodied.

Never ever liked this beer. First time I ever tasted it, I was reminded of a Fosters that had been left overnight, and had a cigarette extinguished in the can. It hasn’t improved. Drunk Extra Cold (as all Australian mass-market beers are designed to be) its bearable

saxo (7442) - Højbjerg, Aarhus, DENMARK - DEC 5, 2005
Poured a tawny yellow with a bug head that fell down into fine lace. Nose was sweet, familiar somehow, and led into a quenching mouthfeel. A whisper of hops and a rewarding swallow that left little to be desired.

when i say funky, i mean it smelled bad. ouch. I was expecting it to be a bitter as the name suggests but oh no, its just another bad pale lager. The taste is acidic and bubbly and sweet and has a bleachy aftertaste. Rank, dont buy it.

yngwie (8717) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - NOV 14, 2005
UPDATED: SEP 29, 2006 Bottled. Clear, pale golden with a nice white head. Malty, grassy and hayish aroma. A bit fruity flavor with grass, grain and malt. Thin to medium body, and some bitterness in the end to defend it’s name, else it is grainy. Original rating stands, new rating 060825: 3-3-3-2-8-1.9 (051029)
