54 reviews of Victoria Bitter (VB) (24 stubbies)
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.
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
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.
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 !!!
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!
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....
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
Beer doesnt get any better than this, especially out of gla*s. All you d**kheads that reckon it aint any good want to try drinking SA or WA beer then you'll realise that God lives in Vic
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.
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.

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.
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 thought.
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.
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.
