Cascade Premium Light

Was once the best value light beer – Cascade Premium Light was originally "Traditionally Brewed", this is/was written on the can or bottle. In the last 12 months (2020/2021) they have introduced a Slow Brewed version, this is also written on the bottle. While the bottles & cans are similar in appearance (slightly different shade of colour), the flavour is not. The Slow Brewed is what… Read more
my 1 Star rating relates to. I would rate the Traditionally Brewed 4 Stars. Traditionally Brewed is a much better flavoured beer in my opinion. Another difference is that Traditionally Brewed is 2.6% ABV while Slow Brewed is 2.4% ABV. If you can find Traditionally Brewed Cascade Light it's worth buying but I doubt there's any left. Cascade was bought out by CUB a company that has decided it knows how to produce a better beer. They failed when they changed Traditional to Slow Brewed & they displayed deceit by changing the Cascade Light Traditionally Brewed to Slow Brewed surreptitiously.
My fave light beer – Recommended by bar keep and very happy with the taste. Ice cold is best. Show details
Is it still as good – Is it brewed outside of Tasmania. I have been told that it is brewed in Brisbane which as vastly different water to Hobart
Perfect drink! – I have been drinking this beer for the past number of years, I enjoy its refreshing light taste! Nothing better than coming home from work on a hot summers day and having this delightful light her which does not affect my cognitive thinking or any hang overs.
Good light beer – Cascade Premium Light is a perfect choice for people who fancy light beer. The taste is very refreshing and crisp.
when you need to drink LIGHT – The very best tasting light beer on the market. Beat the breath test and enjoy the top Tassie taste at the same time.Yumbo !
Good beer but would be better full strength – My grandfather drank his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, if you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop drinking immediately. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what was a stake. He didn't give up immediately he turned to light beer. Three years later i graduated college and my grandfather was there with beer in hand half cut. But he's the first to cheers the beers
Still Full Flavour – Refreshing and Crisp taste as it has always been on a warm Spring and Summer day Very enjoyable at and with BBQ
Used to be a great beer – Cascade Premium Light used to be great. It had lovely malts perfectly balanced with quality hops, a nice fresh aroma and it held a bit of a head. For a light beer it was excellent and better than most of the mass produced full-strength beers. It is now a totally different beer. It has mass-produced malt, some vague bitterness that could be… Read more
from hops, is as flat as a tack with no head and has a soapy bitter finish. The bean counters at SABMiller/Fosters have completely destroyed Australia's most popular light beer.
Given that they managed to destroy VB, once Australia's most popular full-strength brand, in a matter of months, this is probably not surprising.
Bland, cheap, low quality, mass-produced light beer.
Excellent – Is a top tasting light beer that I would highly reccommend to anyone who has to drink light beer.is a top beer Is just like drinking full strength has a good taste its not full strength
Good – Many years ago I remember regularly picking up a slab of Cascade light for a bit over $20, which was an absolute bargain at the time. Times change, and prices rise, but it's still a great beer. It's perhaps a bit more fruity than the Boags equivalent, but is in my opinion a better light beer than the Boags. The only down side is that the alcohol… Read more
content is not as light as you might think - not too far off a mid strength - so watch it if you're driving. Cheap, especially when bought as part of a slab.
Great taste and aroma.
Good head retention. Not as light as some.
