BEER REVIEWS: James Boag's Premium Lager

James Boag's Premium Lager

Country - Australia

Percentage - 5.0%

Brewing Company - J. Boag & Son Brewing

A good friend of ours Andrew Cork (the king of all things beer and brewing related) is a fan of this one, so we thought we'd give it a review. This is a european style lager that is fermented at lower temperatures than most other Australian beers of this style and employs an extended maturation period. When poured this beer is a light golden colour with a decent head and noticeable effervescence. It has a mild mellow aroma of hops, the flavour is clean and crisp with a bitterness that is not overpowering. This beer creates an enjoyable balance between malt and hops complimented by a fresh aftertaste that does not linger on the palate. A good Australian beer of a high quality, perfectly good for that all important session.

Verdict - Great

Couldn't agree more. Clean and crisp is the right way to describe this beer. Certainly hits the spot with that first beer after a hard days work on a hot day. A safe beer if you are to entertain guests or friends and not sure what type of beer they like. Can't go wrong.

Great job for publishing such a beneficial web site. Your web log isn’t only useful but it is additionally really creative too. beer garden bench

Is this the original recipe? It was 5% CUB changed it some years ago, reduced the bottle to 345ml and made it bland. CUB then said they'd heard from 'all our customers' and upped bottle to 375ml. I was a glued on fan until they tampered with it. Can anyone please advise if it is now back to its old flavour? Thanks, Paul

Rants, information and shit like that...

For any information regarding the scoring system or the authors see the home page.

This Blog might seem a bit disorganised for a while, it is still very much in the construction stage but stick around because good things are to come.

At the bottom of this page click on the 'More Beer' button to see more reviews, because we've just got too many for one page.

These reviews are shaped by our personal tastes and so you should know that both Maca and myself don't find Belgium styled beer particularly appetising and Maca is not a fan of dark beers. Also we both think ginger beers are fucked.

To see some our funnier reviews have a look at anything that scored less than good, we usually go to town on these beers.

If you feel that we've got it wrong feel free to comment on any of our reviews, we're always up for another tasting to see if you have a valid point.

It is important to look close at the beers you are buying. Many beers that you think are imported may be brewed under license and these beers are nowhere near as good as there imported brothers, so always look for the 'Imported' logo. When shopping it's well worth the small amount extra you'll pay.

You may of heard someone say 'why pour a beer? Its already in a glass' well those people need to understand is that to get full flavour out of your beer, aroma is key and the only way to truly appreciate the aroma is to pour it. So everyone pour it if you can and tell any wanker that says that to 'fuck off'.

If you've had look at this blog and are thinking... gee it would be nice to try some of these beers that i've seen here but i really can't afford it, well we think you need to get your priorities in order, however here's a top tip from Maca and myself. We brew our everyday drink at a local Brew By You, a chain of microbreweries that allow you to use their equipment and their recipes to brew excellent quality beer for only half the regular price. So the money we save we put into buying new untried beers. This is a great option for someone who wants to make there wallet a bit heavier, get involved in the brewing process or reduce your intake of preservatives This is good for your health but it also reduces the effects of a hangover.
