375 mL bottles mostly and 375 mL cans is some places. It is also available as part of the TapKing range of beers for the refrigerator tap.
Drinkers Review:
This is Australia's best macro-lager, because it's flavoursome, refreshing, and a good session beer. It looks good, has a light gold colour, has good head retention, it's very well carbonated (but not too much) and has different flavours in different areas of the mouth. It's not the best Australian beer but it's definitely a nice beer from an awesome brewery. It taste's better in all areas than its rival Cascade Premium Lager and I would recommend this beer to anyone looking for an full strength Australian Premium Beer to partake in.

Thanks for reading.
Certainly love me a James. Also it is my dad's favourite beer. Just as so I can gather a measure from your scoring, is there any beer that would hit a 5 and if so what one?
Thanks for reading. I haven't hit a 5 yet, but Cascade Stout comes close. There are a lot of other beers I have reviewed that have received 4 stars too. This beer would have received a higher vote from me back in the 2000's before they made it a large scale macro-lager and reduced the ABV from 5.2% to 5.0%. It's still a great drop but just not as great as it used to be for me.
Good day @scooter77 I appreciate all the info and hard work thank you :) Followed
love beer,,,
