The $333 a bottle Tallie............

Hello all,

Just looking through Ebay today and came across this, The Crown Ambassador Tallie..

Bit expensive for me though........

And I thought normal Crown Lager was a rip off.

Must be a good drop! Whos got a K&K clone recipe?

One of the other guys on another forum said they were retailing for $50-$60 a bottle and he scored 1 for $35, seems like someone is trying to make a buck..

What a joke... yeah after years of making Crown Lager, Fosters and VB all of the sudden we are expected to believe that their beer is worth paying double (or more) what you'd pay for a same size bottle of Chimay Blue? Ok then.

From the pdf on the site...

Like its namesake, Crown Ambassador Reserve uses the finest ingredients, including the best malted barley, Crown
Lager yeast strain, Pride of Ringwood hops and the addition of fresh Galaxy hops added green to the kettle – this is
unique compared to most beers, which often use dried varieties. These ingredients produce unmistakable rich
characters, which make it the perfect accompaniment to flavour-intense dishes such as prime meats, or alternatively
it can be enjoyed alongside decadent desserts or strong flavoured cheeses.

Just sounds like a stronger Crown lager with a bit of Galaxy thrown in.

Which mega-breweries use dried hops? I though it was all iso- and tetra-.
