| Comments: This beer is the epitamy of all that is wrong with commercial beer. It is weak, the hop flavour is artificial, and the beer exhibits a strong chemical aftertaste. After having drunk this beer for years, I can now honestly say: this is the beer that drove me to homebrew. And I've never looked back. | ||||

| Comments: Nothing flash, I grew up with this beer. It is a large commercial beer, which as always can lack a bit of flavour and stlye, but I still always enjoy it from the tap. | ||||

| 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: They are forcing this on us in WA as part of their national branding, and it is struggling! Sweet crap that is not to the palate of West Ozzies who have been bought up on the iconic Swan Draught. This is puke, but if they spend another 50 million on advertising, at least the kids will be brainwashed into thimking this is exceptable. | ||||

| Comments: I'm not a beer "expert". I just know what I like. This is one of the best mass produced beers around. Easy to drink... Not too heavy in taste... goes great with most food... MMMmmmm | ||||

| Comments: when your stuck in a pub in NSW, and there isnt any much else available on tap, i guess its not that bad of a choice. They're trying to promote it big time here in QLD, always cheap jugs of new... but it really isnt working... | ||||

| Comments: Has been said before, but this beer isn't very good. However, it isn't very bad either. Just your typical no fuss, mass produced Australian beer that tend to be quite drinkable. On a hot day it's not a bad option for students (Read: Poor bastards) such as myself to enjoy a few jugs with mates at the local tavern. WARNING: Dont purchase this beer from a bottle shop, although cheap (around $30 a carton) it tastes alot worse than the tap version | ||||

| Comments: This is the best of what I call the 'Queensland Six' lagers that one will find in almost any pub. Their 'super-cold' tap seems to work well, and it is quite refreshing on the hot muggy days. Its one I will order on tap if there isn't Tooheys Old on tap, or Cooper's Pale, or Beez Neez, or ... I never buy bottles of it though. Its meant to be drank on tap. | ||||

| Comments: This beer epitomizes everything wrong with the modern brewing industry. Products like this not only cater to the lowest common denominator, they are responsible for further lowering it. A triumph of mass market advertising over quality, this is brewed with the cheapest grain, as much sugar as they can get away with, pasteurized, filtered, artificially carbonated like a soft drink and flavored with artificial hops extract (produced from the strongest hops available, so they can use even less of it). Sour aroma, slightly sweet taste and total lack of any hint of hops, the reason this is served "super-cold" is that if the temperature gets above about 2 degrees, you'd be able to smell and taste how rancid and offensive it truly is. On top of that, the advertising appeals to parochial boof-heads only and is genuinely insulting to anyone who knows anything about beer. Products like this are probably the reason beer is slowly dying in Australia, replaced by "alco-pops" for the teenies and wine by anyone with a palette. | ||||
