Tooheys New
Is lightly hopped flavor complemented by a good balance between bitter and sweet tastes. Enhanced thirst-quenching qualities and high drinkability.

The Beer of the Gods. Consumed this in regular quantities while visiting Australia for the Weekend in 2008, have come close to madness trying to find this beer in New Zealand but to no Avail.
From Dec 2006
Poured from 12oz bottle a clear light gold with a medium sized head of foam that shrank quickly leaving a fine broken layer.
The smell has a bit of hops and malt that I've smelled before in many a macro brew. Not impressive at all.
The taste has a bitter-malt buttery flavour to it. If I had tasted this blindfolded, I'd just know it was an Australian brew. Hey, it was a staple of mine back in the early 70s when I lived in Australia.;^)
The finish is not good at all and when the aftertaste finally left my palate, I was a happy camper.
After a few more sips, I find myself saying...yeah I'm glad I got to try this again but I'm certainly glad my palate has evolved in the right direction. I think I'd prefer a Canadian brewed Fosters over this.
Bottom line: I couldn't give a very descriptive review of this beer cuz not a lot was happening with it. *Another* old favourite bites the dust. :^(
On tap at Marlborough Hotel, Newtown. Pours a pale biscuity gold with a white head. Biscuity malt and mild caramel/citrus flavours. Thin bodied. Watery texture. Moderate bitterness. High carbonation. This is a generic macro lager.
375mL can, BB 14/Mar/18, lightly chilled in an oversized wine glass.
Previously had countless schooners at the uni bar before my craft beer life.
Appearance: Light golden body, clear. White dissapitating head. Not great lacing. 2
Aroma: Grass, grain, herbal, industrial lager. The more you smell it, the worse it gets. 2
Taste: Minor malt sweetness, wet cardboard, slight bready malt, corn, metallic, skunky. Malty aftertaste. Low bitterness. 3
Palate: Medium-high carbonation, light-average body. 3
Overall: The Tooheys brothers helped ruin Australia's beer industry. Can't believe this was my favourite beer before getting into craft. Ironically a typical Aussie will bag you out for buying Tooheys New, while they themselves get pitiful Corona and Crown Lager. 6
Can thanks to @@ron. Pours clear golden, small white head, decent lacing. Aroma is corny, grassy, grainy. Flavor is light sweet, and light bitter. LIght body. Pretty standard adjunct lager.
Got a can of this fucken piss from an Aussie pissant named fletchfighters. Chugged straight from the can. Unlike the other quality Aussie lagers that I received from fletchfighters, this one is a little stale (or maybe that's just the house yeast, ha). Cardboard, stale grains, dull bitterness, paper, and a bit of creamed corn. This piss takes like piss. No wonder 2pac didn't like this. Fucken hell, this is for pussies and chicks only.
On tap in Karunda. Light yellow body. Some sweet biscuit notes. A basic pale lager.
Clear golden with a decent head. Malty aroma with some grassy hops. Taste follows the aroma, mostly malty but some crispy flavours too. Medium carbonation. A decent brew for a bulk lager. (375ml can from a random liquor store in Sydney)
FINALLY! 2pac’s lowest rated beer!!!

Drank straight from the can. Tasted like a slightly malt forward Pale lager. Low hop profile. Clean enough. Very light mouthfeel. Refreshing. This is a solid logger. Thanks to the Australian bros who snuck this bitch through customs for me!
Draught @ Hog’s Breath Cafe, Blacktown, Australia. Pours golden with a lasting white head. Aroma of malt, grain, light grassy hops. Flavor is light bitter, light sweet, light malt, grain, weak grass. Thin body, average to lively carbonation. 090317
F: average size, white, not long lasting.
C: deep gold to light, clear.
A: malt, bread, caramel, hint of grassy, toast.
T: malt, grassy, caramel, toast, floral, clean taste on the palate, medium body, medium carbonation, not bad at all, 375ml bottle from New World supermarket near airport in Nadi in Fiji.
330ml can at SeaWorld Resort.
Gold color with good head.
Grainy aromas with a touch of DMS.
Thin grainy taste/bitterness.
Meh.
Aroma of sweet malt. Mild but balanced taste of malt sweetness and fruity hops. Medium carbonation. It’s not too bad.
Bottle on the Explorer of the Seas (Royal Caribbean cruise ship). Not the worst fucken beer ever, but certainly not the best, and it does in fact taste like piss mixed with Budweiser - or at least what I’d imagine that tastes like.
Kort og godt. En almindelig pilsner. Let humlet, en del sødme. En rigtig fin øl.
One of the most popular beer in Australia... Pours clear golden with small white head. Smells like most of industrial lager. Atromas of sweet malts and some fruity hops. Average carbonation, light body. Abrupt finish. Boring.
375ml Dose. Goldgelbes Bier, wenig Schaum. Herber Duft. Etwas Hopfen. Langweiliger Geschmack.
Found Some notes and ratings from my 2009 trip to Australia. This was Nothing special. Inferior to the "old".
375ml bottle. Golden orange colour, thin white head which fades away very quickly. Light aroma of grain, hops. Taste is a little bland, some malts and hops and a little metallic bitterness. I mean it’s not bad but there’s not much good to write about either. Disappointing.
Along with Yves at his home golden blond colored body with a white head and with a herby hops aroma a herby hop fruity bitter taste with a bitter finish
Shared with wim at my home. Clear blond colored beer with small white head and lots of carbonation. Full sparkling palate. Finish is hopped bitter sweet.
Along the same veins as VB.
Really rubbish mass produced beer here in Australia. Some old timers have a sentimental attachment to it because they have been getting drunk on it for the last 40 years. Doesn’t seem have the same level of loyal following as VB but some people keep drinking because that is what they have always been drinking.
You can drink it if you have to but personally I wouldn’t recommend it.
It is light on the palate with only an unpleasant yeasty mildly bitter taste.
Lager normal sin nada que aportar, tipico aspecto, nulo aroma y sabor plano. Refresca y punto.
Typical of mainstream Australian mass produced beer. Mild and inoffensive if served super cold to keep away the nasty flavours. Will quench your thirst after mowing the lawn, or cheap enough (comparing to other Australian home produced beer only) to mix with lemonade to make a shandy / radler. But be gentle with the lemonade as there isn’t much flavour in the beer - so you will drown it out if you put in more than a quarter of the volume. If you are a beer connoisseur or simply used to stronger brews - avoid this one. Only drink at about 1-2 degrees Celsius and drink quickly.
Dark yellow colour, strong and bitter flavours throughout. Very ’hoppy’ with subtle yet rich barley flavours. 6/10 bitterness with a slight sweet aftertaste. Strong honest beer.
On tap. Pours pale golden. No aroma to speak of. Taste is watery bitter, a bit of corny hops. Nothing outstanding, but better than other Australian ?standard? pub beers.
Typical mass produced swill, good on cold day, a few small unpleasant flavours in there tho - wet cardboard/weetbix or something.
250 ml (!) bottle into glass. Slight aroma. Big head fading, light body, thin feel, average carbonation. Not much lacing. Not as metallic as XXXX, nor as vomitous as VB but still not very pleasant.
Paraburdoo pub y’all. Slight bready tasty stale nose with small malty punch and high carbonation. Shite.
What can I say, its a Pale Ale. It looks like one, it smells like one and it tastes like one. But in a warm Dubai that is OK, and it comes from far away, so who cares. (Dubai 201409)
