Crown Lager has a bright golden appearance with a solid creamy head. The fruity aroma leads to a malty refreshing taste with a smooth, full bodied finish. The slightly lingering bitterness gives a balanced, rounded experience which will leave you wanting more.
Our Brew Masters set the most stringent specifications for malting barley to ensure that the barley used in Crown is of Australia’s highest quality.
A handful of the 1,267 registered barley growers around the country qualify to supply this grade for Crown Lager. From this group, a selection of growers are chosen that Crown can confidently attest are ‘Australia’s Finest’ barley farmers.
Balancing a fine line between art and science - years of raw farming experience, technological backing and investment come together to create the key ingredient in every Crown Lager brew.
Our Brew Masters, working in conjunction with farmers at Rostrevor Hop Gardens, select from the Pride of Ringwood’s family of hops at harvest time in March every year. This ensures the very best hops are used exclusively for Crown Lager.
The season’s first choice of hops enable our Brew Masters to better target the specific qualities within the hops that are used for the Crown Lager brew. These hops give a cleaner, smoother bitterness, providing Crown Lager with the distinctive finish that drinkers have savoured for generations.

375ml bottle from a crew member of a cruise I was on. Drank in Laguna Hills at my daughters place on 26th March 2025. Clean and clear golden body, snow white crown on top. It looked good in the old Corsendonk stemmed tulip glass it sat in. Pleasant malty aroma and taste, surprised how smooth it was, in fact it was a lot better than I expected.

2pac day, 2022. Bottle. Pale gold with a modest white head. Aroma of light bread, some paper, weeds. Hints of berries if you squint? Getting towards watery, fizzy. Clean enough with very light bread and modest but sufficient weedy bitterness. This is the second one I've had in the last couple of weeks - the last one must have been ancient because it was unfinishably bad. But this is OK.

375ml bottle. Clear pale yellow piss colour with a thin white head. Aroma is a bit chemically but there’s a slightly sweet malty hop aroma there. Taste is much the same slightly sweet malts but with a chemical aftertaste left in the mouth. Watery feel. Average lager really, far from Australia’s "finest beer".
