Duff Beer




Springfield's favourite beer has made it all the way to the shores of Australia (via Germany where this is actually brewed). Now don't lie, I know you've all wanted to sample the soapy suds of our favourite cartoon heroes Homer and Barney. Even though this is likely a marketing ploy, it still stirs up some excitement.

What is it about cartoon food and drink? It always looks tastier than anything that exists in the real world. I remember the pizza on Ninja Turtles used to look like the most delicious shit on the face of the earth.

As I eagerly took a swill of the bottle, I was instantly filled with disappointment. Dreams shattered, expectations battered and bruised.

It's a very strange tasting Euro/Germanic style lager. It's not badly done, everything is in reasonable harmony it's just the flavour is very weird. What you're really getting here is a mainstream German lager that is a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

It's no wonder Moe was always struggling to make ends meet with only this on tap. If this is Duff, I'd hate to taste Fudd.

3.5/10
