Cidery, fruity. |

Expensive version of Fosters. Put a gold label on and price it high and the bogans will come.

Over rated, over priced. So many other beers out there that taste better and are a lot cheaper

Overpriced. Just an average drop. Carlton Draught kicks it’s backside.

Harry I would not agree that it’s “cheap-tasting”. While it is a dearer beer than others it is FAR more full-bodied and is quite easy and enjoyable t […] more

Great beer. If you think it tastes like Fosters then I suggest you start drinking it with your mouth. You know where your taste buds are.

This is a re badged version of Carlton Draft. No better completely overrated beer full of chemicals and not apremium beer at all.

A very much over-rated beer in my opinion. Quite bland, in fact it tastes much like liquid cardboard.

Nasty, expensive and over-rated beer. Worst beer in Australia for sure. Gassy, bitter and terrible tasting swill.

LOL - keep shelling out the extra $$ for VB in the gold bottle, stupid bogans. You wouldn’t know a good beer if it bit you in the ass!

Why waste money on this, when you can get Cooper’s for virtually the same price? Boggles the imagination.
