| Comments: I might offend some people when i post this and I apologise if I do, but this beer is perhaps the most over-rated beer on the market, it is terrible. Simply put: "Crown Lager is Fosters Lager with a Gold Sticker" | ||||

| Comments: The taste of this beer is unique to say the least, this brew should be enjoyed sparingly by the fellas, in fear of being labelled a "wuss" by their mates, but young ladies, forget your lolly drinks, drink up, you will certainly love this delicately crafted brew designed for a delicate palate! | ||||

| Comments: Ahh the old Dr Quick! Aptly named because one too many of these little brews and you will be needing a doctor, real quick! At 7.7% Alc/vol. its strong stuff but unlike some believe the alcohol content in this brew certainly does not mask the flavours so intricately developed in this beer. Enjoy this beer but treat it with the respect it deserves. (Otherwise start memorising the number of your GP!) | ||||

| Comments: This beer really is proof that you can out anything in a can/bottle/ tap call it \"Aussie\" and some poor folk will actually believe its a national icon. Avoid this so called beer as it is sure to disappoint even the youngest of beer drinkers. And those who sit in front of the TV all day! | ||||

| Comments: Come on CUB give me a beer that tastes like beer!!!!! Clear glass check, sparkling colour check.... This beer is nothing more than dirty water filtered through a tap to get rid of the bad taste but somehow the colour remained! | ||||

| Comments: Not bad at all, Tassie has pretty clean water so its natural that they should have good beer. Next to Hahn Premium on a summer day although you can enjoy this baby all year round, its a good drop. | ||||

| Comments: I tried this Pilsener just the other night and let me tell you all it is one of the greatest I have had. It deserves the many awards it has won. (Just check out the Bootleg Brewery page!) A true Pilsener for a true Pilsener lover! | ||||

| Comments: Another one I tried just the other night (Thanks Dad, for my sample pack!) This wheat beer unlike Redback be enjoyed without the lemon slice although true drinkers of this style of beer will drink it with lemon anyway! Not overly bitter but still delivers an enjoyable hop taste and crisp finish, this brew should be had by drinkers when you take the family down to Margaret River in the summer school holidays! | ||||

| Comments: First light beer I tried (that was a while ago) it was so bad I didnt bother trying reduced alcohol beers any longer. This beer tastes just like dirty swamp water! | ||||

| Comments: Finally a CUB beer I can stomach! (just!) This draught style beer is smoother in taste and finish than its western counterpart Swan Draught, this beer is perfectly suited for a drinking night with the boys and is more suited to the softer palates out there that like the draught beers. Overall, not the best beer, but it certainly is not the worst... | ||||

| Comments: A big tough bitter beer for big tough blokes! This beer holds the title for IBU's (24 I think.. correct me if Im wrong) and theres no doubting why, perfect for those days when you just need a big cold beer after a hard days yakka! Or if you could do with an EMU! | ||||

| Comments: Perfect footy beer!!!! Easy drinking and relatively cheap (although for a homebrewer such as myself, this fact is debatable) easy drinkning and a slightly bitter finish, great boys night beer, if you are not into the boutique range, or simply can't afford them because the pizza cost too much! (Although the smart man would have bought the beer first!) | ||||

| Comments: This pilsener beer is quite possibly one of the most flavoursome of pilseners I have had in quite some time. This beer helps cement MSB along with the JS Amber Ale, as one of the best breweries in this wonderful country! | ||||

| Comments: At first I could not care less about low carbohydrate beers, but I tried some at a mate's party and it was not too bad. I'd recommend this beer, but try it first before deciding to go and buy cartons of the stuff. | ||||

If your a fan of this style, the James Squire Porter, you will love, if your not a fan of the porter style, try it anyway, you will fall in love with the myriad of flavours concealed in this beautiful brew! | ||||

| Comments: As far as taste goes, dont get too excited its pretty bland, however the beer is quite drinkable especially on a hot day and I find, up there with Swan Draught probably one of the better brews to have with the boys, especially when the Wallabies are on! | ||||

| Comments: Probably one of the better Tooheys beers, although when compared to other Pilseners on the market, this beer doesnt seem to quite measure up... | ||||

| Comments: I first tasted Redback when I was doing some work as a roof plumber, this brew is best off tap especially at the Balmoral or Sail & Anchor! A beer that will be enjoyed by many and the beer that opened my eyes to the compelling taste of wheat beers! | ||||
