COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A favourite with generations of South Australians this well-balanced lager with a clean hop bitterness is an outstanding example of an Australian draught lager.

Spook (8) - AUSTRALIA - APR 15, 2007 does not count
Pale, watery, tastes ordinary and makes the drinker bloated after about 3 and suffer a major headache the next day after only a 6 pack.

One of the less interesting Australian beers, stick to Coopers if you want some taste in your Aussie beer.A retro rate, but I remember it well.

bluevegie (2854) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - MAR 1, 2007
Pale looking yelow body, bland corn taste, your standard macro rubbish don’t rush to S.A to try this!

mullet (847) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JUL 10, 2005
Cidery, soda water flavour. Very thin with a bit of metallic hop nastiness. Not offensive, but pretty Aus-standard. Good head retention.

Nemo (100) - Fremantle, AUSTRALIA - JUN 25, 2004
Amber colouring with a decent sized head. Malty aroma with a metallic, malty, chemical taste.

Really a horrible beer, but I’ve had some bloody good nights on this stuff over the years in my youth...never mind drinking it just to bring back the memories :O)

This is really bad, with a strong taste I really can't put my finger on, but it isn't a good beer taste. There seems to be a lot of chemicals in it, that must be to kill the taste of the Adelaide water. I didn't think there was a mainstream beer out there worse than VB, but I was wrong.

Passable, but not endearing to the palate. Its a cheapy, but is drinkable in a rush!
