One of the better of the pale lagers or bitter variety brewed in Australia. Pale gold in color. Large head. Faint hop aroma with a bit of a metallic aftertaste--what is it with that metallic aftertaste in Australian beers?

A fairly generic bitter, light bodied. No aroma. Pale golden with thin head. Faint hops in the finish. Missable.

This is slightly better than its green-labelled VB sibling... but only just.

Clear yellow color, short head. Aroma is a bit smelly, soft sweet, bit flowery. Some vanilla in taste, slightly bitter.

Canned. Deep golden, airy head. Oranegy aroma. Sweet and mellow with lingering flavour of aging vegetables, old socks and butyric acid. Leaves a flavour in your mouth that is reminiscent of the one an avid beer drinker has in his mouth the day after a serious beer festival. This beer is not lacking in taste, it is just tasting plain awful!

Can. From Australia (gift from a travelling colleague). Served at 4C. Yellow lager with a thick big bubbled head. Rather unpleasant sulfur laden corny aroma. In mouth, actually not all bad. Rather sweet malt, with actually some nice crisp hops in finish. Drinkable, after all.
