| Comments: No distinct flavour. Clear bottles only allow sunlight to affect flavour of product (which in this case has to be a good thing). "Ice" brewing style clearly shows through as a dud in this product. "Tastes like wet beer". | ||||

| Comments: WHAT HAPPENED, this beer was barely drinkable ten years ago and now it’s, albeit still barely drinkable, weaker in alcohol. Without malt and hops that could only mean watered down. As a younger lad this was our poison, a 5.2% monster that went down with ease as long as it was close to frozen. It has since changed from 5.2, to 4.6, to 4.2, and now weighs in at a miserly 4.0%. What is Lion Nathan doing weakening an already pitiful Dry lager!?! Poured into a tallboy glass, clear medium gold body with big ’frumpy’ bubbles erupting to a short soapy and artificial looking white head. Raspy mineral and sour lemon nose, quite clean yet with an odd hint of castor oil. Sprightly and quite lively in the mouth, it had the overall feel of tonic water with only a little cardboard and lemon pulp to save it from being tasteless. Very light in body, very clean and remained crisp for the length, it had a little note of oxidisation that lingered between mouthfuls, so I guess it needs to be downed in quick succession. I drank it as a kid, to get drunk like the rest, but now it cannot even serve that purpose. Nothing disagreeable, it’s just not beer, really!!! (34.5cL bottle, BBE 01/06) | ||||

| Comments: If I were forced to choose between this and a Carlton Cold, I'd pick the Cold. Enough said I think. | ||||
