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.

This lagah came from my Aussie colleague’s visitors. A blonde lagah with a thin white head, smelling of sulfur and herbal corn. In mouth, a crisp metallic attack with some decent hopping after. Refreshing, but not much else. Was expecting kangaroo pee, but this wasnt that bad.

Bei diesem Bier gefällt zwar die Flasche, der Inhalt wird dem aber nicht gerecht. Der Minimal herbe Antrunk wird ganz und gar umhüllt von Wasser, aber nicht von Bier. Lasch ist noch geschmeichelt. Test vom 29.3.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,5,5,5,11,4 - 5,20

Golden color, small white head. Sweet, a bit fruity but light aroma. Light, carbonated. Sweet malty flavor. Leaves a bit sweet aftertaste. Good thirst-quencher, clean and uninspiring.

(Bottle 37,5 cl) I had this years ago in Oz. Around the Millennium I saw it in one Danish supermarked, but then it vanished. Only to reappear in Denmark last year - I guess it had to do with the royal wedding, our very own crown prince marrying an Aussie las. Well, all this story-telling about a beer that hasn’t really anything going for itself. A completely bland pale lager. Fully golden colour, pretty much absent head. Some sweetness from the malt, medium body. But actually the packaging is the most interesting about this beer. Thanx to pjk33 and highlandlad for your to-the-point remarks on this. 210304

Pale blond color. Useless aroma. Very simple taste, with a similar bread (and bad) note as the Carlton Cold. Strong bitterness.

An orange beer with a fine head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of straws. The flavor is very slight but sour malty with a dry end. Another boring lager.

Funky bottle. Actually, aside from "golden", all my notes have are numbers and a description of the bottle.
