A little caramel, some weeds. Less weedy but more bitterness than VB - so meeker but cleaner.

33cl bottle from Angkor Market. Thin white head. Clear golden pour. Ok, not much to it
Better than VB...but that’s not saying much.

On tap. Pours a clear pale yellow with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has wet sweet bread and cookie with a bit of sweet grain underlying. Flavor has musty grains and a bit of fart with straw backing.

375ml bottle sampled on Aussie tour 2017-18. Pours pale golden with a white top. Aroma & taste of cereal malts but little else, watery & dull. Preferred this to VB but that is absolutely no endorsement

(Can) Pours a good looking clear golden with a decent white head. Little aroma, but what there is isn't offensive, or particularly promising - slight cereal / bread notes, maybe something slightly sweet and fruity. Light bodied, with decent, smooth carbonation. Taste is pretty poor - watery start and middle with bread notes and some sweetness, there's some bitterness in the finish but it's harsh and rather metallic. Drinkable, but not good.

Red can of Aussie piss delivered to Colorado by fletch. Thanks! This is terrible. Candied and caramel apple. Butterscotch, cardboard, a little too sweet and no hops to speak of. Fuck you.
