Name: Victoria Bitter
Origin: Australia
Style: Lager (4.56%)
Appearance: A dark gold lager that pours with a very short-lived small to medium head.
Taste: The aroma is mostly metallic and copper-like. VB is a very light tasting beer, with most of its flavours coming from its bitter, herbal hops. There are some very subtle grain-like notes. It finishes bitter and metallic, with a very short aftertaste.
Mouth Feel: A medium carbonated beer with a light body and short-lived aftertaste.
Final Thoughts (2.5 out of 5): This is a very plain-Jane lager. It’s not bad and its actually a very easy drinking and refreshing beer, but it lacks character. Still, its leaps and bounds better than Fosters. I gave it a +0.5 because it really hit the spot after spending the day in the sun on top of Old Goat Glacier.
