Outback Chilli Beer is not a bad beer but isn’t the best either, with a nice lager crispness to it a soft chilli flavor this beer a nice one to try but a full 6-pack would be a bit much. A nice flavor but sadly the chilli isn’t strong a there is no burn in your mouth that chilli is best known for, try it.

The beer has a delicate and light, malty aroma and a subtle, sweet finish. Leffe Blonde is a perfect accompaniment to light, everyday meals. I recommend it to anyone whom enjoys great beer.

With no flavor (or a flavor that doesn’t open your eyes in excitement) and a flat finish this beer is “try and never buy”.

Hoegaarden is a light and uplifting beer with a slightly bitter and fruity taste, with a hint of coriander and curacao.

They found that consumers were starting to favor a clean, crisp taste over a full-bodied taste. (People defined clean and crisp as “refreshing drinkability and no aftertaste,” while full-bodied tasted meant “the deep flavor of beer.”) Asahi took this consumer information and gave it to their brewmaster, who then set off to make a truly unique beer.They created Super Dry, which had a crisp, clean taste while still retaining a full-bodied flavor. It was beer that could go well with many kinds of food. In fact, instead of using bread as a palate cleanser during their taste tests, Asahi prepared Japanese, Western and Chinese food to sample with a cold Super Dry.

The beer finishes with a subtle hop character, as a result of a later addition of imported hops. The beer is straw in colour and very palatable. What sets this truly Australian lager apart from other beer is its original taste and purity. Bluetongue is produced in the finest traditions of quality Hunter Valley products. It is hand crafted and has been nurtured since its inception by Brew

Originally passed in 1516, this law stipulates that you can only use water, yeast, barley, hops and hop products. The selection of these raw materials alone requires the utmost diligence. The hops have to be inspected in the field, immediately after harvesting before taking samples back to our in-house laboratory for testing. Then and only then do we select the best hops and hand them on for further processing. Even the malt comes under close scrutiny in terms of its regional origin within Germany. Beers made by our company may only use two-row summer barley.

Brewed with a blend of premium pale malted barley and malted wheats with an equal amount of pure light amber honey. The light malt palate with its sominating honey aroma and flavour create a pale light golden coloured beer with a moderate bitternsess.
