Redback Cristal = Rank

The good, the bad and the ugly of commercial beer and breweries, including microbreweries and craft breweries.

Need I say more?

Has anyone else had the misfortune?

All redback is unfortunate but yes, that one is PARTICULARLY bad.

Sorry to the redback lovers.

I once saw a guy scrape this muck from his tongue with a butter knife after a session on that stuff.

What happened to Redback. It once was ok. Now it's getting worse. 'Crystal = Shite' is probably a better assessment.

In his book, Laurie Strachan mentions that they changed the recipe for the standard Redback after CUB took them over.

Another brewery chewed up, and spit out by CUB take-over.

I like that 1-2-3. :D

I grabbed one of these at the bottlo tonight to give it a try. Must agree with the other posters. It was shite.

If it were a blind tasting, I would never have picked it as a wheat beer. Too bitter for one thing. Perhaps that's where they're using the surplus tins of Spicy Ghost....

Haha some of these are classic:

Upon cracking the lid an eggy fart was released, in the glass the aroma is like musty sawdust and edging tinniness. Watery, thin, soapy and flabby in the mouth. Winks of castor sugar, an artificial sourness and soft astringency tickle and taunt its rear fall-out. Soggy cardboard fits in snug as it warms. Finish is like diluted soapy water. Sits along side greats like "Michelob Ultra" and "Hahn Super Dry". Fantastic for young impressionables looking to score in a Discotheque. For me, though, this was shite!

:lol:
