I've got a book here called Beer: Slabs, Stubbies and Six-Packs - A Tasting Guide. The two blokes who wrote it just hang shit on anything they don't like, for example........
Budweiser
We don't know why this is in the book, it's almost not beer. Having said that, it's the world's leading beer brand - yet another indication of how silly the planet is at present. It's floral but confectionary-floral; it's smooth enough, but watery. This beer has about as much integrity as a UDL vodka-orange or a cup of instant coffee. If you haven't been paying attention, we don't like this beer. It's made to be sessional but is simply tasteless. This is a weird beer in that it is so popular. We don't get it.
this is a good one too.....
Carlton Cold
With CUB's characteristic sweet-and-sour nose, Carlton Cold manages to magnificently replicate the look, flavour, texture and finish of mediocre Victoria pub tap beer. Quite an achievement - and possibly a reason for its popularity. What you don't get with this beer, however, is the conviviality of the main bar, Sky Tab, the ever-increasing beauty of the barmaid or the unmentionables of the men's dunny. Without all that what's the point of this beer?
Great book!
