I think I put more effort into photographing this beer than they took brewing it. This is yet another generic European Lager that has invaded our generic bottleshops attached to Coles and Woolies. The label craps on about the 1487 Beer Purity Law, but doesn’t actually say that it follows it. It promises “uberlegener geschmak” or a superior taste and then turns out to be made in France. After this morning’s Socceroos – Germany game, I can understand why you’d want to be a German, but this is taking the piss. Pretty bland, not the worst, but only to be repeated in emergencies.
I’ve read a few comments about Uberbrau and I disagree with most of them. Uberbrau has been my usual beer for a few years now, although they recently raised the price from $32 something to $34 something a case.
For me, the over-priced sugary-sweet multinational local products which have replaced our traditionally excellent Australian beers are inferior to a glass of water (which I usually order at restaurants when only local beers other than Coopers and Cascade are available). Fortunately for our economy, many current beer drinkers were raised on Coco-Pops and they like any cloyingly sweet drink. They hide the poor flavour by drinking it cold enough that the colour of the can is more important than the frozen taste.
Uberbrau, however, is a real lager, with a good nose, pleasant light taste and very acceptable after-taste. It’s a bargain at the price.
I think for its price is is one of the better beers on the market it beats any of the ausie beers hands down(mind you that’s not hard) I find it very similar to Becks, Stella or carlsberg.
For its price top notch.
Nah – Its shit !
Obviously an expert conclusion.
You could certainly spend a lot more money and end up with something as good or even worse. Uberbrau promises “superior taste” and it certainly delivers when in the company of most mainstream Australian beers. When faced with paying over $50 for a box of that awful VB stuff, Uberbrau at $30 (even at 330ml) is a no brainer.
tastes good and refreshing. too many beer snobs
Mate ur heads up ur ass
its half the price and tastes 2x as good as 95% of aussi slop.
Don’t care where its made.
Don’t agree I think, in fact I know and enjoy beer, Uberbrau is an enjoyable beer and good value, drunk cold it’s up there with some of the better beers, what would I know about beers,well at 71 and with a fair travel and drinking experience I can attest that I done my apprenticeship in the “art”.
Cheers
Yeah the problem is Aussies have been brought up on shitty sugary beers. VB was my childhood/ 18+ drink. XXXX in my mid 20’s (as it does have a more lager taste) Even Tooheys Lager is half decent. This beer wins down on taste if you’re a more mature drinker. The malty taste along with it’s lagery heaviness makes this a good inexpensive beer when comparing it to the price of similiar Aussie beers. The problem is when you have grown up on somethign it’s hard to get the taste of a properly brewed lager. This isn’t the best beer in the world. But is up there with Coopers and other top Aussie beers
A good honest beer, price is right & I agree with the other comments, most of the so-called designer/craft beers taste like shit & are twice the price. West end, Coopers are OK, most of the imported beers are great, but VB & all of the bloody dry’s etc are crap. Hey, be real at $33.00 a carton (24) that’s About $ 1.38 a stubbie.
“UberBrau” is a really piss poor, disappointing beer, a watery weasle piss, no flavour, no taste in my view. Their attempt at producing a half decent tasting European Pilsener style fails, big time….sadly “UberBrau” trying to market this awful product as a quality German Pilsener style lager is insulting and of course a marketing failure, as it deserves. Don’t waste your time, it’s crap!
Cheers, Greg Beck.
Only telling the truth, ( a rear thing today)
I am not allowed alcoholic drinks but do so miss the taste of a good beer. Birell, a Coopers brew, never satisfied. I saw Uberbrau, tried it and never looked back
