And nothing of value was lost...

Literally never seen this beer anywhere.

 

[Mardoo]

That should free up a crapload of Amarillo, if I remember the hopping correctly.

So for the second time in their history Tooheys has realised they can't brew a good pale ale. They are apparently very slow learners.

It was a very ordinary water pale ale at best, watery , devoid of taste...

I had 1 on tap and 1 in a bottle

Good knows what they where thinking trying to take on Coopers with that one. Be like Coopers trying to make a VB...

The XXXX one was just as ordinary

But..


I do like Tooheys Old. B)

I agree.

 

[lost at sea]

never wasted my time to try it, and good riddance.

 

[Bribie G]

I've only had one, on tap, at the Woolgoolga Diggers staying there around Xmas. Very underwhelming, I went back to drinking the Reschs Original Draught, far more flavourful.

 

[GalBrew]

I agree.

I also agree. Nothing like an Old, great beer. It actually shocks me that a large brewer still chooses to continue brewing such a fine beer.

Fixed that for you, Tooheys.

"We know this will disappoint our (assumed*) loyal Tooheys Pale Ale fan"

* Well, someone has been drinking it.

Fixed that for you, Tooheys.

Coopers clear and dr tims come to mind.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Coopers Clear is a low carb Lager, and Dr Tims is ( basically ) Pale Ale in a can

Not a great fan either - was this an attempt to create a rival to Cooper's Pale - or just to rival the glut of Pale Ales on the market now?

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

It wasnt a rival of anything really

I would not even call it a pale ale...It sure was pale, but that was about it

Maybe they didnt want to offend megaswill drinkers and left out the taste.

If they can make a great Dark Ale, why cant they make a Pale....A Pale Ale is not rocket science by any means...its about as simple as you can get

Yeah Bro, it was a Hipster beer my ass

Tooheys where not aiming at Hipsters....far from it.

They where aiming for their own clientele, the ones that only would drink a Tooheys

 

[Mardoo]

The hipster is strong in you.

Pass me the ******* bio organic village grown beard oil

or this stuff. The ducks nuts in beard oil,leathers, saddles and bike leathers ( my Stag jacket has survived 20yrs using this stuff ), Ge-Wy leather dressing, made by an old bloke in Singleton, prob not suitable for Hipster beards though

And its made in Australia
