Light colored. Smells like apple bubblegum. A great dessert beer. A sensational dessert beer. So nice. Strong Beer of the Year contender. The more you drink, the less apple is at the forefront. The grain becomes stronger than the fruit.

Bloody good. Light of body. Smooth. Cling-to-the-glass head. Guest reviewer Gavan: “Looks like I'm pouring oil into my glass.” Big roasted flavor.
The logo for this beer is two shaking hands. Originally, the logo included the words “Unita fortior”, Latin for “unity provides strength”. Did this logo and motto originate when several Melbourne breweries merged to form Carlton & United Breweries (now Beverages)?

Shocking nose. Geoff likened it to dog shit. Not too bad if you hold your nose. Not past its use-by date, so this was, presumably, as good as it gets. Pedavena has been brewing since 1897 and they still haven't got it right.

There's a picture of a goat f---ing a giant beer on the label!

Regardless, a pretty good beer.

Makes your head wobble. There's something not quite right about this. There's nothing more to say, except that it doesn't taste any good. Nothing to write home about.

A nothing beer. Inoffensive. The Gold 104 of beers.

“Not as good as I remember it,” said Oliver. Gavan: “I liked it.” Geoff: I love it: I'm all over it.” (!?)

Scotch finish. Chocolatey. Spray paintey.

Got spastic. “Ate excellent food and Geoff passed out in lounge,” said Lisa. The next morning we commented: “Tastes like Hoegaarden (from what we recall).”

We didn't recall the rating, therefore it gets the same as Hoegaarden in a bottle.

“Tastes like Heineken should taste,” said Geoff. Lisa said: “It tastes like it's from the back paddock.” Conversely to Abbots Lager, Grolsch starts off tasting magnificent and declines as you go. Cling-to-the-glass head. Strong nose.

Nose is of the dreaded Pride of Ringwood hops. There's no PoR taste, though. Lovely. Nice head. Copper/brown color. A fine drink to accompany bangers and mash.

Some wheat beers have a nice taste. This is not one of them. Soapy.

Nose is quite more like an ale than a pilsner. Bloody good. A great beer, but is it really a pilsner? It's too fruity and not bitter enough for a pilsner. Very nice nonetheless.

“A drum-roasted wheat beer,” says the label. (We assume they mean the malt used to make the beer is drum roasted, not the beer.) And it tastes as good as it sounds from this description. Dark, ruby color.

An aley lager. Honey on the nose, honey on the palate.
As an aside, you've got to worry when a brewery's own website spells the word “lager” as “larger”.

Our initial thought was “Yuk”. But it definitely gets better as you go. Golden colour. A better beer than its CUB stablemates such as Victoria Bitter

Claims to be brewed at the world's oldest brewery since 1040. William the Conquerer may have drunk this. A beautiful label; you've got to love a label with a coat of arms on it. A sessional beer. Bubble-gum wheat-beer taste.

Leaves the tongue lubricated and velvety. The Castrol GTX of beers. The chestnut gives it novelty value. The most subtle of chestnut finishes.

Geoff: “We're almost back in the realm of ‘da da da da da da da …Wonder Woman!’.” This is a nothing beer.

This is the pilsner that's not a pilsner. It's too fruity and perhaps not bitter enough. More like ale than lager. A nice beer, but not a pislner.
