123 reviews of Victoria Bitter
VB is short for vitaman B, very beautiful, virtual broth, vommit bomb, and violent brew. Other than that, it's a very belated brew ,I think I would much rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotamy. Drink up!
PFFT !!! Went to buy multibuy special (30cans) at celebrations on cedric - website says special until the 8/4 only the tool in the shop said the special expired last week..rekon i should get it for free
I personaly think Emu Bitter destroys VB. EB aint no nancy boy drink, so dont hit me with that non-sense. It's true, VB is F@#$# vile!
5 Stars for VB, only the best of the best can drink it without crying. If you can't drink VB, it's not because it's a bad drink, it's because you're weak.
I'm so tired of hearing pretentious wankers s**tcan VB while they suck back a Peroni or Corona - both overpriced imports that have less flavour than tap water. VB is a solid, reliable beer.
There seems to a bit of cultural cringe being shown here. Just because I drink Australian beer doesn't make me a bogan. Just because somebody else drinks an imported beer in a flash looking bottle also doesn't make them a social elite.
Victoria Bitter is a good beer with a clean fresh taste and a consistency of quality some other brewers only dream about.
Serious? All you bloody winges giving VB a crap star rating when you haven't even drank it before. Also, to all you saying it is 'cheap' - check the price again, VB is far from the cheapest. Now to the review - VB is easy to drink, refreshing, crisp, tasty and is my beer of the choice. If you haven't tried it, pull your head out of your ass, open your mind, wear a blindfold if you find it that difficult, and force the 'cow sh*t' down your throat - you never know, you might enjoy it. Everybody loves a bogan.. so why don't you?
Its definitely my choice. Don't need to be a beer connoisseur to purely enjoy a simple beer like this. I know everyone rags on it and if your not from vic you won't appreciate it, but thats the same with swan draught, xxxx etc...
VICTORIANS ARE VB DRINKERS!
Drinking VB is a bit like having a cow s**t in your mouth - apparently...
Best Beer in the world, cant beat it u r either a bitter drinker or lager drinker u cant compare them at all.
VB is the best in my world I know, I have spent about 100,000 on it so far.
Not drinking VB or XXXX does not make you un-Australian, contrary to some people in here. I didn't know it was very Australian to love drinking sub-par beer.
Come on guys, there are many more quality beers made in Australia that will allow you to show your patriotism to this great country of ours. They are even around the same price too given the fact that VB has creeped up in price over the years.
Call me a wuss for not drinking this stuff and I will whip out my bottle of Bacardi 151 and force you to drink half a bottle of it. Survive that without crying or throwing up afterwards and your views about beer drinking may become more valid.
Have a nice and productive day.
Bogan's brew. Drink Coopers instead, the Pale's a top Aussie drop. 1 star for the ads, that's it.
Just go to Bunnings, request a litre of Kerosene, bottle it then drink it. There you have it, bottled Victorian Bitter, try it if you dare!
Honestly attrocious, nothing unique aside from it beging a very cheap beer. This is the sorta stuff you have too force down your throat and even then you gag!
not as bad as people make out, still australia's top selling beer with xxxx gold, a carton is sold on average every few seconds according to wikipedia lol, not my first choice but will drink it.
It is pretty bad but if I was presented with a VB, XXXX and Tooheys and told to choose, I'd take the VB
The quintessential Bogan's beer. Fit for the bloke that is unemployed, is dentally challenged, suffers from bad BO, wears filthy wife beaters and supports Collingwood Football Club. Craptastic.
Vile bile, and a travesty of the art of brewing. Best described as bong water with CO2. How it is the price it is boggles the mind. Absolute crap to be avoided at all costs.
A hard earned thirst, needs a big cold beer, and the best cold beer is... you guessed it.
The Very Best.
A real beer, not some watery crap that all the other brewers call beer.
Victoria Bitter? More like Victoria Bogwater! Disgusting filth, only drink this if you are a hick that drives an old Commodore, smokes some trashy cigarette, swears every third word and lives in a trashy suburb.
Even then, I still don't recommend this swill.
One star because zero's not an option.
its pretty much anywhere.. everywhere you go out, yes drink it from 375ml cans or bottles its not as bad as people make out, euro beer is worse if you ask me, and much more expensive.
i can because there cheap, i have seen them for 36 bucks for 30 cans. it will always be aussies most popular beer, as its a traditional beer, its not my fav but i will still drink it, wikipedia shows that a carton is sold almost every 10 secs.
This grog has sprawled to every pub, club and tavern in Australia....... As with ninja turtles eventually everyone will out grow it.
cannot believe any person alive still drinks this rubbish. I would prefer warm urine filtered through an afghan camel drivers jockstrap than this abberation.
my old man stopped drinking it after 40 years because they changed the recipe, and he wouldnt know a good beer if it bit him on the arse.
Used to be my drink of preference. It now gives me the biggest head ache, and thats just the price! C.U.B obviously has changed something in the ingredients or brewing precedure. Just cant drink it anymore!
HA HA HA... this beer is poor to say the least, what a waste of money, you couldnt give me this swill for free, best for keeping low income earners away from good brews. theres some funny reviews here, love the "aussie" stigma, its an australian embarrasment, all the negitves i agree with. rubbish.
As Aussie as you get! A bloody good beer. Goes down a treat after work or before going down to the pub.
got this for 38 a carton once on the gold coast and my mate drank pretty much the whole lot in a night almost, we bought 2 cartons cause it was so cheap.. i like it just because its generally really cheap, tastes good ice cold, warm.. forget it.
yeah u can get this stuff cheap as still 38 bucks for 30 cans, not sure what 24 cans are worth.. but they taste not as bad as people make out, but its true abos and alcos love the s**t, where there is better beer produced!!
not the best, but theres worse like coronas, sols, and that weird euro beer crap, i like it better in cans but its got nothing on xxxx and tooheys new.
Ain't called Vomit Bomb for nothing. Worse than XXXX.
Sold on it's image. It can't be for the taste.
An absolute icon and quite simply the best beer you can buy in stubbies - just ahead of Melbourne bitter and Carlton Draught. If it wasnt for Victorian beer our economy would be rock bottom as everyone would be buying imported crap as no other state comes close to making a good beer. Do yourself a favour and go and shout yourself a xmas carton now - shes the nectar boys
how can you be australian and not like vb. please go off and enjoy your very expensive european beer in 345ml or 355ml bottles. beer should only be drunk out of 375ml bottles or cans if u ask me, get your moneys worth and keep it aussie i say
I come from VIC and drank this beer growing up through uni. Now that I have money to buy decent quality stuff I've never looked back, especially now that the price has come into line with better quality options.
This beer has a lot in common with Michael Clarke. Over rated. After a session of 'beer' you feel like you've been drinking sea water and then been hit by a bus... twice. This 'beer' is the reason Panadol, Gatorade and Berocca were invented. If you swear by this 'beer' then you probably have never had sex outside of the missionary position. You may also prefer 'Crown Lager' as an expensive sister/hooker. As an alternate to this swill I'd prefer Carlton Draught.
Australia's number 1 beer. Always liked drinking this beer and is better than carlton draught. Can only drink this beer when it is icy cold and is always good to drink out of the tap. Its not as bad as everyone says and people drinking it should be proud of it and not listening to the crap that its the poor mans drink. Just look at Warnie his choice was VB on tour rather than everyone else who drunk Corona's. Thats why Warnie was our best cricketer cause he drunk this great Australian iconic beer.
very best. however cans and stubbies should always be the same price, after all 375mls is 375mls no matter whether in a stubbie or a can
I drink soft drink over any vb, even if they are giving it away...this is a factual statement......
This beers majority of sales comes from abo's and alcoholics and most other people who have lost there sense of taste. If it was a great tasting beer we would see it being exported dont think you could give this stuff away in another country.
Common side affects.
Causes head aches
Taste like you have run your tongue along the bar after every mouthful.
Makes you think your muscle mass is increasing by 10% after every drink and that your martial arts or boxing skills have become so high that they no longer need a bouncer at the door because you can sort out any problem.
Everyone has got an opinion on this famous beer and it polarizes people throughout Australia. I used to love the stuff...I could drink heaps of it and rock on with the best of them...but I noticed that the quality varied from carton to carton and I can say that when fresh VB is a good beer...when it is past it's use by date it is horrible. I would say that over the years I have had ten bad slabs of VB. I won't be buying it anymore because of this factor. RETURN THAT STALE CRAP FROM WHERE IT CAME !!!
God created man and then created VB for man to survive...hail the good lord....!!!
ive tried a lot of brands and keep coming back to VB,if only the beer was priced by all the knockers.i would be living the dream!
use to pay $30 for a thirty pack 2 years ago,now $50+ at times so someone must be enjoying it....ah.
An insipid beer. Soapy thin and quite offensive. It is a national disgrace that it's emblem is on the sacred Australian Test Team Blazer. yes the marketing is cute.....but there is nothing Australian about bad piss.....and this is the worst.....I guess it satisfies a lot of winfield smoking, labour voting bogans!! VB....very bad.
All you people on here that are attacking the VB neigh Sayers... Wake up to your selves, there is much more to the world of beer than just xxxx, new, blondes, and VB... And chances are the people that say VB is S**t don't drink any of that other crap either. If you want to be a typical Aussie drunk bogan then go ahead and enjoy above mentioned beers.. Now were did I place my Stella?
I love all these bad reviews.. its funny
If it was really that bad it wouldnt be australia's top selling beer.
So to those who dont like it go back to drinking NEW.
Creme de le creme of beer,a real mans drink....too much for whingers from Queensland to contemplate....stick to your XXXX cats piss.
I cant believe these "blond drinking, nancy boys" that review V.B. Go find another beer to wash your cats p**s down with, or get rid of the taste after to lick the boss's a*s*. Harden Up Princess, there's lots of beer especially make for girls now!
A insipid beer. Soapy thin and quite offensive. It is a national disgrace that it's emblem is on the sacred Australian Test Team Blazer. yes the marketing is cute.....but there is nothing Australian about bad piss.....and this is the worst.....I guess it satisfies a lot of commodore driving, winfield smoking, labour voting bogans!! VB....very bad.
HAS to be without a doubt THE WORST liquid i have ever poured into my mouth ... HOW can ppl drink this s**t!!.. id rather drink out of a toilet ... s**t it tastes slightly better
no wonder it isnt exported.. .. it could only be used to torture people in prison... october fest would close down serving such maggot infested cat piss.
only usefull as a BBQ cleaner.. shows how much s**t is in it.. gets all that grease out ..
PLEASE DONT DRINK THIS c**p>. anything is better ANYTHING .. f*k it il even swtich to LIGHT BEER FOR f*kS sake .. thats how much i hate VB .. sell it destroy it burn it !!!
anyone who likes this c**p has been living in a cave for the better part of the last milanium and has only tasted the sweat of his own balls as a comparative....
There is worse.. such as coronas, sols, tasman, millers.. heaps of s**t beers out there.. xxxx, vb & tooheys have to be aussies best beers, these are stereotyped as "dero beers" but are actually good drinks cause there simple and cheap, i rate vb as a 3 star.
The fact this is "Australia's most popular beer" makes me want to vomit with fear! What are people doing with it? Degreasing the old HQ? I would not wash my feet with this decrepid liquid
Almost forgot to mention, this stuff costs between $40 - $50 a slab in Perth, making it "Boutique price". If this was the last beer on earth i'd give up drinking.
Keep this c**p on the other side of the country. Even wouldn't touch for free, you would have to pay me to take another sip of this goats lower intestine bile. You have to give this beer imposter 1 star or you can't submit a rating.
Why drink over priced imported c**p when we have the very best right here in Australia and it's not meant to be lolly water
Slightly on the expensive side however it is very drinkable and you can continue drinking it after 5 or 6 which is more than can be said for some.
its pricey for an average beer at best. plenty other beer to spend your hard earned on.
It's drinkable, but why would you drink this c**p when so many other much nicer beers are available for the same price or cheaper?
The variation in quality is astounding, one bottle tastes okay and the next will taste revolting.
People just drink this for the Aussie image behind it or because of advertising.
How anybody can still drink this preservative filled rubbish when there are so many other quality beers out there is beyond me.
who ever hates this beer is a total d**k, obviously doesnt know what a good beer tastes like. VB = very best.
Why would any one drink this c**p?
V=vomiting
B=bogan
that's what you turn into when drinking too much of this catpiss
VB is quite simply a man's beer. If you don't like it, grab yourself a breezer, UDL or some quaint boutique beer and go have a picnic. We'll just grab a VB stubbie, go to the shed and discuss fishing, hunting and footy.
This beer has got to be one of the s******t beers on record. It's called Victoria Beer for a reason, so keep in Victoria, the rest of australia doesn't have to suffer.
The Very Best, has been the beer i have drank for many years, best drank extra cold. have stints on other beers but always come back to VB, leaps and bounds better than tooheys spew!!
A few years years ago I used to drink this by the carton. I used to have a VB hat, keyring and whatever else.
Then Carlton put up the price of VB and I started drinking other beers. The truth is this is a pretty ordinary beer that'll give you hangovers. It's priced way to high for catpiss and seems to be only drunk by bogans (I must've been one).
I haven't bought any for ages, but can drink it.
This, like TEDs, is a typical crappy, cheap Aussie drinking beer.. pretty much only good for drinking with the boys on a hot arvo when you dont want to be buying expensive beer for them to drink as they have no idea what a good beer is anyhow...
Im a commy driving bogan and i dont touch this i find the extra 5 buck in the ashtray and get something better. Last time i got on this was when i was sponsored by centrelink.
goes down ok if you're already half-cut. good on tap. but gives you the biggest hangover. only buy this if the only other beer you can find is xxxx.
I love this beer! and for an extra 8 bucks from a carton of stiubbies, y not get a block same volume from can to stubbie and still tastes good. Victoria Bitter for life for me always be one of my favourites.
I must say, being a victorian and growing up with stuff i have come to see it as one of my top 5 beers ever. The most relable and no-nosense drink your ever going to have. I prefer the cans over the stubbies as may mates can't smash cans once they've had too many. Best drunk cold =]
An acrostic poem in tribute to vb:
V is for very good
B is for beer
That is all
just because the can is green and gold does not make this aussie...make a beer we can be proud of
Good beer in the stubbies. Goes down alright great with any sport but usualy not my first beer of a night. If on special grab your self a slab and enjoy.
Drew
Great beer...but i personaly dont make the cans the first drink of my night(dam Queensland water). If you can get them for a good price in the 30pack you wont regret it.
Drew
although i much prefer bitters to lagers, aussies dont know how to make decent bitters - with except to a couple of small/boutique brewers. vb has no body and too much carbonation. weak and flavourless in taste.
Some people think they are experts if it comes to beer. (see Rosco)
If everyone would drink the same beer, we would pay 100 $ for a carton, so good you have Rosco's and Sutek's who drink dishwater. hehe! .. only joking lads!
Since I am in Australia, I have tried a lot of beers and I must say that VB is by far my favourite. Not only I like the taste but it doesn't give me headaches which I cannot say of a lot of other drinks I had the last year.
Nearly as wonderful as my all time favourite (Jupiler) which is not imported in Australia.
Cheers***
What Rosco said. If you're a fan of VB, you've probably already got one foot in the gutter and a lease on a nice park bench with dirt views.
Terrible stuff, really! Marketeers must be grinning from ear to ear haha.
Cat's piss. Appeals to yobs because of advertising campaigns and sports sponsorship. The reviewers here are testament to that.
Why would you possibly buy it when you can get much better quality brews on special for the same price?
VB is pure s**te for people with no taste (literally).
A truely great aussie beer, full of flavour and character, can't ask for much more than that. Price is just getting ridiculous though. Must only buy it on special to send them a message.
Unless VB is cold enough that you can't taste it I would stay well away. There are so many beers in Australia that far surpass this one, pick one of those.
pure liquid gold...
aussie through and through ...
although a little pricey when not on special, when that time rolls around when it is on special ( either alone, by 2 for 60 or more recently i saw 3 for 90) then u cannot look anywhere else...
10/10
Love VB
x
If I could rate it at 0 stars I would.
I love the spirit of VB, Booney ads etc, but seriously one of the worst beers I've had. Takes 48 hours to make...!
prob the greatest frothy ever created
a real Aussie beer bloody ripper!!!
Typical Aussie beer, not bad, good for Australia Day, price is usually rediculous for it though.
VB heavies, is the toughest beer i've had. the only grog i had found that can knock me on my arse quicker are spirits. so Damien F, i agree it is the "Very Best" you can buy and for peter M, beer is for drinking...like holy water it should be blessed, if you want to wash your car, go to a car wash.....
VB is is the "Very Best" beer money can buy! If you don't like it, you're soft!
My car is dirty and the tap is broken so I was thinking of cleaning my car with this....actually what am I saying. I wouldn't put out an old bum with this s**t. I drank this when I was a kid. Last time ever. My uncle is mad for consuming this bile. I think I would prefer to drink West End if I had too....
DON'T drink it if you value actual beer and not chemicals.
good quility water in victoria allows the taste to be slightly better than vb cans great for drinking while watching your fav sport on the box.
problem with vb cans made in Qld and water quility not as good as victoria.Great beer for slaming down.
good beer nice and refreshing on a hot day after a hard days work
A mans not a camel, and drinking anything else would be un-Australian. Sweet as a nut booysss sweet as a nut.
