| Comments: Drank this one on the odd occasion Cooper’s wasn’t on draught in my two years in Adelaide. Pours a clear gold with a bubbly white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma was definitely hop driven, but not the delicate floral Kentish hops, Pride of Ringwood came to mind with a mix of grassy, metallic, stale hops of a different variety. Nose follows into the mouth with a heightened oxidised edge and biting carbonation, thin body and bitter in the back with a little sweet malt and corn starch to attempt a compromise. Finishes off quite crisp and forgettable. Come to think of it I don’t know why I drank it, I suppose it was because it was beer and I was at a pub and thats what you do there. Not the best from Southwark. | ||||

| Comments: Another bitter beer. I didn't used to mind the odd bottle of SA's infamous 'green death'. | ||||

| Comments: This beer may be the reason as to why it is the "only remaining example of the Australian primed bitter style." If it epitamises that particular style, then maybe it is a style best laid to rest. It is like sucking spilt beer out of a bar-runner that hasn't been washed in several months. I recommend drinking this beer only if you have had a recent tetanus shot. | ||||

| Comments: I grew up on the green death and consequently it is my favourite beer. My christmas road trip home often doubles as a mad grab for a couple of cartons to take home due to the unavailability in the ACT. It is a true bitter and takes an aquired taste. But as a chik who isnt as rough as two bricks smashed together, i think it is a very good beer with heritage. | ||||
