As bespoke by Thunder Stealer, Captain of Words, from the Land of The Cricket Match Throwers, 'tis a lager.
[gently chiding -e] Now Fiberbabe - if you'd carefully followed the "Aussie Beers" pages at the site mentioned by Bean at the start of this thread you would have known this! There's a pic there n' all.
Rather than trying to remember all our beers, we have a simple system for the poor heat-struck folk in our northern and outback climes....
Rather than asking for a Victoria Bitter or VB, just ask the barkeep for "a green can". For a spot of variation you could go for a "yellow can" (XXXX), a "white can" (Carlton Draft) or a "blue can" (Foster's). Doesn't matter if you can't remember which is which, they're all good. And, after one of each in the first hour, you won't care!! ("Super" grade Aussie beers such as these have considerably more alcohol than those in the US as I recall - around 6%).
This should be of benefit to anybody travelling through this land - and you'll impress the locals straight away!
