First impression
A sleek, understated green label wraps the can of Victoria Bitter. Poured in a glass, it looks to be an Australian version of Budweiser or Coors Lighr. Help...

First Sip
I've got to adjust the temperature on my new fridge, this is too cold to be drinking any beer (with the exception perhaps of Bud or anything with a "Rocky Mountain Cold Certification label")

Halfway
I had thought that this beer had a peculiar apple essence to it before I recalled having just used the new apple soap in our bathroom to wash my hands only moments before undertaking this review... Don't try this at home, ahem... I'm a professional... Reminding me a little of Bitburger at this point. Perhaps a little less hard than that though... Nice easy effervescence.

Bottoms Up
I imagine most won't be shocked to hear that one of Australia's most popular domestic beers is an easy-going and thirst quenching potable blend of smooth subtle malt and a little back palate hop contribution. Be not surprised at VB's popularity coming out of an ice filled Esky at a summertime gathering...
