Damn sneaky repackaging. So you end up losing 12% beer per bottle. Or 1.08 litres over the course of a carton. And I bet the price won't change.

Didn't when they did it to the Han Ice, so of course will be the same again... rip off merchants !!

 

[Bobby]

price point is supposed to improve. hahn is usually the cheaper of the oz 'premium' beers.
also you may have noticed that kilkenny is in 330ml cans now.

Actually i think they do warren.....
it's just they dont realise it..!
essentially forcing us to brew more often and buy less of their product.!
i'm sure most of us @ AHB are capable of producing a V-Red better than that which will be served up under the Hahn label....

You forgot to mention the savings on hops too.

Hahn Premium used to have a decent flavour and substantial hop bouquet.
First time I tried it (10-12 yrs? ago) I remember thinking wow!!! this is so much better than anything else from the LBS - if only it wasn't so expensive.
These days it seems to resemble the many other fizzy water 'premium' lagers that have been foisted on the gullible public.

Maybe they have reverted back to the original Hahn premium formula and renamed it.

Just to bump this thread, and swing it back to the topic...

I had 2 stubbies of this beer tonight.

Well, it's not the original Hahn premium, but it holds it's own amongst the other so-called premium Oz beers.

As the label advises, it has toasty flavours. It's a little sweet with a pleasant, but not overpowering hop aftertaste. Medium bodied, perhaps, and a browny-red in colour.

Must have been OK, coz they disappeared quick, and the brew was definitely better than the standard megaswill.

Overall, I'd give it 7/10. That may be generous, but it's late and I need to finish this post without wordy delays. The beer went well with a chicken laksa tonight.

Someone put a flame suit on and wait here for me, ...I can't be bothered doing it myself. :blink:

It will be on special for about $44 per case next week, I was told this evening at Theo's Broadmeadow store.

I had a couple of these last week. I must say first up that this is a style of beer that doesn't really interest me that much, & this one lacked the maltiness I was expecting. Nothing that stood out, it was just another beer really.
cheers

Saw the Vienna reds near the checkout at dan murphy's, couldn't help myself and bought two to try. I was expecting more of an in your face maltiness than what it had, and perhaps a touch more hop flavour. Though I spose they're brewing for the general population out there and don't want to offend too many people. I wouldn't buy it again for myself, not because it was particularly dissapointing (it's drinkable) , but there's so many better beers to be had.

Cheers
