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.

Cheap swill, strong chemical taste. Not worth buying and if there's anything else available pick it.

UPDATED: APR 7, 2005 Quite possibly the worst beer on the planet. My only regret about rating this beer was that the ratings don’t go into the minuses. This is actually offensive, but then again most things from Adelaide generally are. Re-Rate: Went back to Adelaide recently and decided to give this another go. Not as bad as remembered the first time, but still pretty awful. Goes from a 1/10 to a 3/10 purely because it did not freak me out as much as the first time I tried it. Interesting to note I brought a six-pack home with me and distributed one each to six of my mates. Reports back to me varied from undrinkable to shithouse, to never wanting to speak to me again. One of them said ’If that’s the sort of present you give to your mate, then what the f&^# do you give to people you don’t like"?

I love globalisation. It enables you to despise a beer from Australia as much as one from Fiji.

One of the few beers that I've truely enjoyed out of a tinnie as opposed to a stubby.

Again not to bad for a cheap tap brew, can’t say I’d go out of my way for this one either.

I can’t believe this beer is so popular here - I don’t like it, but sometimes its all you can get

More flavour and aroma than Export but still nothing terrific about this beer. Can occasionally taste quite good on tap.
