Established back in 1869, Tooheys has always had a disregard for the status quo.

This refreshing ‘new’ lager completely revolutionised Australian beer culture. The balance of smooth malt character and a delicate hop aroma is perfectly suited to Australia’s hot climate.

So next time a Tooheys New is in your hands, remember it’s more than just a beer. It’s a piece of Australian history that transformed taps and taste buds across a nation.

2pac day. A cold stubby, bb 7/25. More amber than gold with a decent white head that lasts a while. weedy aroma with mean crackery malt. Thin with sugary sweetness and modest but harsh weedy bitterness. Worse than I remembered and pretty bad for an Australian macro lager.

22/10/2022. Can at the Black Anchor Bar, Norfolk Island. Pours clear golden amber with a lasting firm creamy white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, fruit, grain, sweet corn. Medium sweetness and light to moderate bitterness. Moderate body, quite creamy, average carbonation. Bittersweet and just slightly tart metallic finish. Better than I remember it being from previous visits to Australia.

Twist top 375ml bottle from Beers of Europe: BB 30th Nov 2021. Drank at home on 20th August 2021. Golden pour, decent head. I thought this OK, certainly not as bad as I was expecting. Pleasant blend of light hops and semi-sweet malts. Nothing exciting or world beating, but it's a lot better than the average score it's got on RateBeer.

From Dec 2006

Poured from 12oz bottle a clear light gold with a medium sized head of foam that shrank quickly leaving a fine broken layer.

The smell has a bit of hops and malt that I've smelled before in many a macro brew. Not impressive at all.

The taste has a bitter-malt buttery flavour to it. If I had tasted this blindfolded, I'd just know it was an Australian brew. Hey, it was a staple of mine back in the early 70s when I lived in Australia.;^)
The finish is not good at all and when the aftertaste finally left my palate, I was a happy camper.

After a few more sips, I find myself saying...yeah I'm glad I got to try this again but I'm certainly glad my palate has evolved in the right direction. I think I'd prefer a Canadian brewed Fosters over this.

Bottom line: I couldn't give a very descriptive review of this beer cuz not a lot was happening with it. *Another* old favourite bites the dust. :^(

Can thanks to @@ron. Pours clear golden, small white head, decent lacing. Aroma is corny, grassy, grainy. Flavor is light sweet, and light bitter. LIght body. Pretty standard adjunct lager.
