Not good. But better than Boags St George. See http://www.homebrewandbeer.com/forum/vi ... php?t=1062 for some comments on that beer debacle.

Yeh just had one before. Lacking a bit of taste i spose. Easy to drink however. A bit more kick to it would have been nice.

My brother bought a six pack of this stuff the other day,and i drank half of them.Temperature outside was 43 degrees,definitely not good drinking weather,but this gear went down real fast,long before it could warm up.It had a yeasty aftertaste,with medium hops bitterness.Not bad at all. 8)

I quite like this beer and am slowly but surely getting a good collection of the green bottles for my homebrews. And it's easy to drink also. :lol:

I tried this stuff around Christmas, was pretty mediocre. Might have to start drinking it to try to slow down the expansion of that beer gut though. Is it worth it? Is it much better for you?

I would much rather drink less of a tasty beer than more of a beer that I don't really like ... same goes for drinking less of a more satisfying beer with more kilojoules than more of a less satisfying beer with fewer kilojoules.

You follow?
