Drinkers Review:
Piss yellow, fizzy head, and a lively carbonation don't make for a particularly visually appealing beer, but damn does that can design look fantastic. Overall it's a pretty bloody boring beer. Its watery and probably one of the worst mass produced lagers in the world. No wonder aussies don't drink the stuff.

Thanks for reading.
It's no longer Australian owned either.
No, not many of the big Australian beers are any more. But lets not let that get in the way of a good story :)
Absolutely not. Cascade premium is one of my favourites. Another one i used to enjoy years ago was Southwark Bitter from South Australia. Sadly , they don't make it any more. Unique flavour, they called it the "green death".
As a Tassie born boy, Cascade is one of my favourites too. I've heard of Southwark bitter, but never had the chance to taste it! Sounds like I'm not missing anything!
It's a pity you never got to taste it. I must have been in the minority of people who liked it.
Cascade is certainly one of the better mass production Aussie beers currently
Way to take one for the team scooter
Yeah, I don't mind trying anything really. Someone brought a 6 pack over of these, I wouldn't dare purchase any myself!
I know what you mean there! I've drunk some pretty awful things because someone else provided it. These day's I'm not much for beer, but I will occasionally drink one. More likely to have a cider or spirit mixer though
Hahah very true, the stuff is pretty nasty.
This is the second beer I drank after Tooheys New in the eighties, now I won't drink them for free,James Boag is my favourite now, hands down. Cheers
Amazing review 😂 Pretty honest one as well :D
Thanks for commenting. I try and keep it real!
I'll follow up on the next one ;)
Haha, this gave me a laugh. Keep these coming!
Growing up in the USA, this was the only Aussie beer we ever heard about.
You got the raw end of the straw then thats for sure!
No doubt about that. I was surprised when I moved here years ago that Aussies didn't really drink it. The way they market it overseas, you'd think it was the VB of Aus.
It is the VB of Aus. Awful stuff!! haha
Not a fan either, glad you had the guts to say it. Foreigners often ask if I drink "Fawsters" :')
Can't wait to see what drop you review next!
Thanks. I try and mix them up and drink something different each time.
