Dunno, but can't be any less pleasant than Fosters surely! Always liked the adverts TBF, but my vague recollection is that it was just another bog standard mass produced lager.

Because it's the Devil's diarrhoea.

Drank in Tetley's or Peter Walker pubs, did you? Skol too common for you?

It was that bad, they probably banned it from entering the country on health grounds ?

Basically, Tetley-Walker went into a joint venture with Carlsberg in the early 90s and that was that. No room for XXXX after that - Tetley and Peter Walker pubs awash with "Probably..."


I know. I was there.

I loved it. Slightly off topic but I also remember that Red Stripe had a version that came in a black can with a red stripe. We called it Crucial Brew but I'm not sure if that was it's actual name or not. Never seen that for years either.

Why did they stop importing it??

Believe me, they never imported it.

Fake foreign lager just like Carlsberg and Fosters.
