This Australian lager has a balanced, smooth flavour and body, complemented by mild bitterness and a trace of sweetness. We give GOLD its signature taste by using golden cluster hops that are brewed with the finest ingredients, such as Australian malted barley and our trademark yeast.
Oh, and we hold onto that fresh natural flavour by never adding preservatives to the mix. Ever.

Originally rated September 2007. Comes in 6-pack at the LCBO, under the name "Export Gold", and with 4.5% ABV. Pours a golden colour with an off-white creamy-fizz head that sticks around long enough, and leaves good lacing. The carbonation though is pretty low. Smells malty at first, but then turns onto an adjunct smell. Pretty light and watery mouthfeel. The taste is a mix of malt and other macrobrews chemical flavours. Was a good swill dranked from the can, but in a glass... really nothing special.

Plain, malty aroma. Flavor a bit on the thin and watery side. Pale golden color with a nice-sized head. Not a bad example of the pale lager variety.

bottle sold as XXXX Export at 3 Alley in Seoul - I’m not completely sure the export version is the same beer (I believe Export is 4.5% abv and this listing says its 3.5%), but I think it’s pretty forgettable either way. It pours clear gold with a one finger white head. There’s a light pale malt aroma. The flavor is of lightly sweet malt and a little mild hops. It’s not a bad flavor, but like so many beers of this style there just isn’t much there to enjoy either. It’s thin on the palate and finish with minimal flavor. Oh well, at least it’s better than many pale lagers, which isn’t saying much.

Bottled. A golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet grainy, but also with a light metal note and a skunky off-note. The flavor is sweet malty with a light metallic note - my gues is that it comes from the hop used, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is thin. Thanks BelJohansen for sharing.

This lager poured a light yellow colour with a bright white bubbly head. To the nose there was scents of corn, malt and a little egg??? First sip was watery and very thin. Not bad tasting but nothing to it. The finish was malty with a little corn flavour then...nothing. Just a very, very light beer flavour.

38 cl bottle. This beer is primarily a thirst quencher, and if you are really thirsty it might do as an average lager. But it isnt..
