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.

Bottle at the Brussels Beer Café, Jalan P Ramlee, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a thin frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light bitter hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a soft hop bitter, dry malt palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Sucked down a bunch of these at an event at the Australian embassy. Pours a clear gold, soft white head. Nose of cheap malt, bad honey, corn syrup, straw. Flavor is sickly sweet, cheap malt, corn syrup, a little metal. Slick finish. Bad.

Nothing special here, worse than average pale lager. Watery, musty, grainy. Give this on a pass.

Bernsteinfarben, Schaum hält sich gut. Aber bei mir zeigte sich ein eigenartiger, orangener Fleck im Schaum - Farbstoff? In der Nase Malz, im Geschmack Malzbier, süß werdend, leicht bitter im Abgang. Sehr süffig.

On tap @ club central Hurstville. Sweet sweet nose. Small head. Little carbonation. Little lacing. Taste is full on bubblegum Sweetness followed by a little hops & then the usual CUB mixture of rubber, metals & vegetables in the finish. Funnily enough this tastes better than the bottled version. Overpriced, overhyped.
