The quality, care and dedication that goes into Crown Lager is evident from the first sip.

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.

37.5 cl bottle from Wellcome, in Hong Kong, 4.9%. Pale gold color, short white head. Lagery and hoppy in the nose. Aroma is focuses on bittering elements, with a noticeable amount of hops, then metallic and a bit soapy. Malts profile is under cover. Taste is bitter, crisp, dry bitter finish, watery texture. Actually this seems close to a pilsener, Quite clean.

Flaske fra Gml. Strand øllager, i Kongens have juli-14: selv ikke den freske storbandmusikken fra scenen kan hjelpe denne. Ikke stol på bryggeriets selvskryt, dette er boring, boring and utterly boring.

Bottle, 0.375l. Clear deep golden color with medium frothy white head and fair lacing. Aroma is grainy, bready, mild caramelly and grassy. Taste starts with moderate sweet grainy malt, follows by mild fruity sourness with some vegetable notes and medium bitter finish. Light to medium body, thin texture and average carbonation in palate. Average lager with very nice bottle...

375 ml bottle. Pours a clear pale yellow colour, foamy white head that diminishes and a hay & fruity malt aroma. Taste is sweetish malt & grain, with grassy, straw and cardboard notes, and a sourish bitter finish. Light bodied, one to drink cold.

There are worse macros on the market. The straw and cardboard aromas are at least elevated by a little hops, though it’s very short on tasting with only the slightest hop flavour and seemingly no malt to speak of.
