I would be reluctant to even call that 'beer'.

That was my point

Hence I don't drink it.

I can understand that the bottled Chimay was not to your taste, but you could change your mind if you had the chance to drink one belgian beer right out of the cask or draft. And so many different flavours. I was invited by a belgian friend 25 years ago and he make me discover the countryside of his country, and some very nice small hidden inns whith their own delicious beer. And belgians are very friendly people too. At least the french part, never visited the flemish part.

I agree. I'd love to (as long as I don't have to go to Belgium).

The only two Aussie beers that I would dignify with the name "beer" is Matilda Bay, a small WA brewery and Cascade, a Tasmanian brewery.

Well judging by the export sales of many Aussie beers, not all beer drinkers think the same way!
Of course, the vast majority of Aussie beers are lagers, not beers or ales in the classic sense. Even victoria bitter is actually a lager.

I do like a drop of Crown Lager.
Best lager in Australia.

Is that you cap?

Pretty sure they have slightly changed the formula over the past few years, certainly not as nice as it once was alcohol content has dropped aswell.

Sure am looking forward to getting a few of them 6% + beers under me belt in August

I thought Crown was actually pretty drinkable.

No. that's spirits. Beer should take a bit longer IMO.

Steinlager? No way. Give me a bottle of Speights!

^I remember doing the brewery tour a few years back.
Great stuff.
