XXXX GOLD has a balanced, smooth flavour and body, complimented by mild bitterness and a trace of sweetness from the extra malt.

VICTORIA BITTER

Dismayed by the quality of beers on offer in Australia back in 1854, Thomas Aitken, founder and head brewer of the Victoria Brewery, decided there ought to be a beer specially brewed for our harsh Aussie climate. A beer that is full flavoured, full strength and one that would quench a hard earned thirst like no other.

CARLTON DRAUGHT

Carlton Draught is one of Australia's biggest selling tap beers. This traditional full strength lager, available nationally, is renowned for delivering "brewery fresh" taste. Carlton Draught provides a crisp mid-palate flavour which is balanced with a clean hop bitterness and a slightly dry finish.
