| Comments: Typical traditional lager. Easy drinking, crisp taste. All around a good product, seems to be a bit "plain" to me though. Would be interesting to see if BlueTongue make their Premium Lager (blue lable) and ginger beer (red lable) 0% GM as well (as with their IPA). | ||||

| Comments: Tasted this after downing their Ginger beer (should have been the opposite way around). Poured into a small stein, a ½" of white foam formed above a very pale, clear straw body. Lacking in aroma, but very clean, with only a hint of grassy hops. Dry palate, medium low carbonation, and light bodied. Pasty yeast across the tongue, mildly sweet, lemony and a forgettably short crisp swallow. I served it with a fiery Devilled chicken dish and it seemed to compliment, as it was very light on in flavours. Their Ginger beer goes down a treat, but this was a little too crowd pleasing for my liking!!! | ||||

| Comments: I loved the label more than anything! But the taste is light and good for hot days. I think if anything it would be classed as "trendy". | ||||

| Comments: I've had this brew twice now. The first time was a part of a sampler I ordered at the brewery, and the second was the other day when I bought a single at the bottlo. I have to say it went down easy and it had a decent aroma and taste. The only thing bad I could say about the experience was it may be a bit too sweet, but it tastes clean. They should put it in a brown bottle though to prevent skunking. | ||||

| Comments: I love this beer. This has everything a man can ask for in a beer. Only problem is that I can only afford it when its on special and even then it seems to go off the shelf faster than cheap aussie flags on Australia Day. | ||||

| Comments: Easy drinking with a nice taste on your tongue. Now this beer is easier to get hold of and the price has come down, it makes it a good option when compared to Crown larger or Cascade | ||||

| Comments: Just had this beer outside in the warm sun with cheese and crackers. This is what I thought. The beer looked pretty usual for a lager a crispy light yellow that was very slightly murky (very slightly). I ended up getting a fair bit of head with this one as well. I thought the head at first looked quite full and creamy (not as in Guinness creamy, lager creamy :p) which once it dispersed turned to a soapy look. I was pretty impressed that the head stayed around for awhile too. As I drank the beer there didn’t seem to be much lacing which was disappointing. You have to love your lacing !. As I smelt the beer it got a floral sense, it wasn’t a strong smelling beer. I tasted the beer and to me, I got a very slight hint of floral taste. It was a stronger taste then your typical cheap lager. It definitely had a bite to it, quite bitter on the back of the tongue. I didn’t really get anything to note, it was pleasant though. Overall I thought the beer was ok. There wasn’t anything to really make me want to rush out and buy it again, this is my own personal view and I’m sure that other people like the beer more than I do. It was decent. | ||||
