Haagen Australian Lager
Independent Distillers (Aust)

Appearance: A golden yellow color with a thin white head.
Smell: A malty, hints citrus with floral and hops.
Taste: Malty and floral hints.
I got this from a co worker that said that there were going to be importing the beer to the united states. I was a bit hesitant because I didn't know what to expect. The beer had a very nice clarity with some carbonation bubble. Drinking the beer was easy with a smooth after taste.

Appearance- Poured a hazy, golden color with little to no head.

Smell- Smelled of hops and grains.

Taste- This beer wasn't very good. Not much taste to it at all. It had a hint of hops and not much else going for it that I could detect. Tasted like a Corona.

Mouthfeel- Thin and carbonated

Drinkability- None. I'm glad I got this beer for free from work.

Picked up a six of this at the local liquor store. Something new. Twist of top. Twisted off kind of hard and popped like a champagne. Must have had a long trip. Smell is a little skunky like a classic canadian beer, I like that. Unusual opaque pour. Taste is like that of a brown lager, highly malted almost like a newcastle ale. Call me crazy but if they called this beer "Baily's flavored" it wouldn't be too far off. Starts as a lager but finishes with a very sweet carmelized finish. I am surprised this is a "lager" it appears much more to be an ale, yet lacking some hopping. A little too sweet, lacking balance for my tastes but an unusual brew to say the least. I'm sure Crocodile Dundee has tanked this...no worries. As a note the bottle I imbibed was 5.0% alcohol and 11.2 fl. oz.

Poured a 330mL bottle into a glass mug. A deep, gold color with a small, white head that immediately receded. A very malty smell which leads me to believe it's not an American MAcro and possibly and Australian style (I will be researching...). A very, very sweet first sip; a lot sweeter than anything I've ever had. Tasted a little bit like juice that's how sweet it was but once my palette adjusted, it got smoother but still on the sweeter side. A thin mouthfeel that did not impress me. With the thin moiuthfeel, it was an added bonus to drinkability. After the first few sips, not too sweet and with the thin taste makes it a pretty drinkable, interesting brew.

Man, I got completely suckered into that one. Saw a new beer at my favorite bar and the bartender recommended it. One whiff and I knew it was a mistake. Lightly skunked pilsner underneat the green bottle. Under malted, over sparged, and made up for by the immense addition of corn sugar. Yep, malt liquor...and tasted every bit like it, except for the relatively whimpy alcohol at 5%. Not much else to it other than a grain-hull bitey astingency, a confectionate sugar sweetness, and an overcarbonated feel. Not a great beer, but I have had worse.

Pours a crystal clear golden color with a thin fizzy white head that quickly vanishes. Nose is fresh grain with only a faint trace of floral hops in the background. Taste begins with sweet malt and a bit of grain husk leading to a mildly hoppy crisp finish. Would serve fine as a lawn mowing beer but is pretty forgettable otherwise.

Ok lets get this over with. 330ml green bottle has 5.3% alc. Not that bad in appearance golden with a large thick slightly off white head. The aroma is awful though, dirty drain water , chemical like fumes, this should not be skunked I broke open a case of 4 six packs to get it. The taste thankfully is better than the stink, though not good ..just plain watery malts with barely a lick of hop, very slightly bitter. Pretty slick but not pleasing on the palate. Overall not a good beer at all, but far from the worst I have endured.
