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.

Nemo (100) - Fremantle, - JUN 29, 2004
Pale Golden In Colouring with a thick frosty decent sized head which lasts most of the beer through. Bitter, malty aromas are evident. A chemical, bitter, rustic taste of beer, which is also Crisp and Clear and drinkable when desperate.

Bottle, served ice cold, as per instruction. Pale in colour and in flavor. Kinda reminisant of that time I had Bear Gryliss momement and drank some camel urine. Faint note of hop bitterness...for the love of god don’t let it get warm!

Sevenlee (375) - Central Coast, NSW, AUSTRALIA - FEB 4, 2012
Very little to say about this. Weak malt aroma, weak malt taste. Rubbish. About the same as every Australian macro beer.

visionthing (214) - Oslo, NORWAY - FEB 3, 2012
Bottle 37,5 cl. Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma of malt and a hint of hops. The usual sweet tasting pale lager with just a litte bitterness in the end. Watery and pretty tasteless.

adamnase (28) - Kronoby, FINLAND - JAN 18, 2012
375ml bottle. Pours golden, almost white small small head, tiny aroma. Hints of caramel and yeast. Yeast and a little caramel, nothing special, boring beer

BeerSkull (494) - SWEDEN - JAN 2, 2012
A little tangy aroma of malt and grassy hops with a fresh and light taste of malt and grassy hops. Vaguely dry bitterness in the finish and with a very prominent carbonation, almost like a champagne. Works very well as a thirst quencher on a hot summer day and it’s very easy to drink. I think this is an underrated beer that is more like a German Pilsner than an Pale Lager. It does not have the boring sour malt taste that many other standard lagers has.

POLK (1293) - Hørning, DENMARK - DEC 26, 2011
Pale golden color with small head. Aroma of hay and straw. Flavor is not at all bitter. Australia’s answer to a carlsberg beer.

stefannilssons (234) - SWEDEN - DEC 23, 2011
Det ända positiva som finns att säga om den här bortsett från att det faktiskt är en öl är att den innehar en viss bitterhet som jag uppskattar. Annars är den blaskig och tråkig, men det är ju trots allt bara en lager.

i would not pour this into a glass.. there is almost no aroma to this beer what so ever. Taste is flavour less with a bitter backing.
