THIS JOURNEY IS NOW COMPLETE! This was a challenge I undertook from Feb 2011 to Feb 2012. Thanks to everyone that kept me going! Feel free to read through and comment, I am now also periodically adding reviews here as I sample other beers that I did not come across during the challenge.

Pure Blonde White
I figured I might aswell have this one after the Hahn as they are direct competitors in the market. It is also a 'low carb' wheat beer offering from heavyweight brewer Fosters.
When you line up the Hahn and the PB... it's an illusion of choice. Much like the major political parties... and as Matt Stone and Trey Parker famously put it, "It's a choice between a douche and a turd sandwich".
This is a slightly hoppier wheat beer than the Hahn, and the 'wheat beer' qualities seem a touch more authentic. BUT. The overall feel and carbonation is very cheap and really diminishes the overall package.
It could have been victorious, the flavours are better than I expected but the overall quality of the product is terrible. Overall, I'd rather the Hahn. Just.
