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.

It almost smells like a respectable beer with hops and malts. Just a bit of head on pour that fades fast. the flavour is again just about there but not quite. Nothing bad about this one. It’s just not enough of anything.

Nothing special about this beer, very bitter as the name says and not easy to drink a lot of. I do not recommend this beer.

Bottle. Golden clear, thin white head that leaves rings when drinking. Smells of sweet malts and marsipan. Taste is dry and sweet. Actually a little too dry. Finish is weak because the dry taste kills the bitterness that should have been there. You can provoke some bitterness, but not much.

Powertrip (758) - Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - FEB 10, 2011
Single bottle purchased from Alberta Choice Liqour in Calgary, AB and consumed on 02/08/2011. Colour: pale yellow with minimal head. Nose: Slight flower note but mostly yeasty. Taste: Medium sweet, light bitter, light sour. Victoria BITTER? Not even remotely. Sweet vanilla profile with barley dominance but complex and not finely crafted, albeit refreshing. Oily mouth.

VB:ssä on runsas valkoinen vaahto ja melko paljon kuplia. Väriltään itse neste on kultaa. Ensimmäisenä nenään hyökkää vihannes. Maku jatkaa samaa, eikä siinä nimestä huolimatta ole juuri ollenkaan bitterisyyttä. Sen sijaan jonkin verran makea se on. Maltaisuus ja pieni pahvisuus on kokoajan läsnä tätä olutta nauttiessa. Jotakin mätää tässä on, mutta juon sen pois niinkuin kunnon juovo tekee.

JohnBarleycorn (537) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 24, 2011
Can. Boring medium-gold appearance. Unappetizing aromas of confectionary sugar and wet bread with a curious floral note in the background. Lifeless palate. Virtually tasteless and a huge downgrade even from carbonated water; just a tiny swell of bitterness but easily not as refreshing as its non-alcoholic half-brother. Makes Fosters seem like pure liquid joy.

TaktikMTL (4133) - Montréal-Nord, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 24, 2011
Canette de 500 ml achetée à la LCBO (Ottawa, ONT). Arôme: Légère odeur de céréales. Apparence: La couleur est blonde-dorée avec une très faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un large col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Léger goût de céréales et d’houblons. Courte durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est mince avec une texture légèrement crémeuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Arrière goût légèrement houblonné. (Rating #3475)
