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.

Bottle from Bottle Barn. Label indicates it’s a "draught beer". Something of a herbal/paper aroma. Darkish gold color with a head that went quickly. A bit thin bodied with mild carbonation. Starts a bit malty. The herbal/paper is present, and the finish is a balance of sweet and the whatever. It tends towards dryness, and it is not annoying - just a bit off the ordinary. The oddness gives it a plus over the standard pale lagers of the world. Better than American macros. By far.

Clear golden color, decent white head. Metallic, grassy hoppy aroma with strange pear fruityness. Sweet, corn-fruity flavor, light woody hops. Acutally quite similar to Fosters.

Bottle. Lemon/orange rind and malt aroma. Golden yellow color with moderate head. Light sweet malt flavor with a light hops finish. Moderate carbonation. Decent easy drinking beer but a bit bland.

I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to try a new beer at Outback, of all places. Better than most American macrolagers, with a darker-than-average body and detectable grassy hops and dry, toasty malt. Crisply carbonated. Rather thin and bland, but not offensive.

Pour is a blond with a fizzy white head. Aroma is some sweet malts and a bit of biscut. Flavor has a touch of hops with some breadyness and hay. An ok lager. Had a sample at a beer tasting and have seen single bottles of this for dirt cheap.

33 cl bottle, dated Best Before 11/14/07. Twist-off cap inside of which seems to be cricket trivia. Pours pale, but with a bit more amber than the average American macro. Rocky head brings up some oxidation, then a bit of hop. Too much corn sweetness up front, but hop bitterness way at the back of the throat. A bit more malt to it for this category, but with adjunct added. Merely okay, but I’d hoped I could enjoy an Australian beer that isn’t Foster’s.

Bottle. Very refreshing, but in all other aspects the same old, boring, poor pale lager.

Bottled. Pale golden colour, small white head. Aroma is quite non-existing, some hops and creamy sweetness creeps up from the glass. Flavour is caramel malts, cream, hops and seeds. A very different pale lager to the masses. I did like this one. A very oilylike palate. 5 2 7 3 11
Bottled (re-rate in honour of the 10th anniversary of 2Pac on RateBeer). Yellowish golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is rather weak/mild of some grassy and floral hops, mild sweet bready and biscuity malts. Flavour is bready and biscuity with some mild grassy, hayish and some mild earthy and herbal notes. When seeing my original rating I thought it was way overrated, but actually this is quite a pleasant one. 5 2 6 3 11

Off-gold with a full bubbly head. Surpisingly good lacing. Aroma quite faint, with a touch of dusty hops and old bread. Very clean with hardly any malt component whatsoever, quickly moving into a lightly hoppy finish, giving it a focus on bitterness more than anything else. Possibly a beer that works OK with food, when the next bite helps erase that finish before you can make the "bitter beer face".

An orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is light with notes of oranges and malt. The flavor is rather sweet malty combined with notes of caramel and hints of metal.
