It matters to me. The way it was described here lead me to believe it might taste nice. At $4 / 300 g it would want to. It didn't. Which makes me wonder if it is normally ordinary or just the jar I bought was from a tasteless batch.

I know turnip, I know a swede when I taste one. Not a skerrick of either taste in the bottle I purchased. Perhaps it was a bad batch and, instead of sending it to landfill, they sent it to Australia - plenty of big holes there.

Or your palette is stuffed? Not everybody likes the same stuff and it needn't be good to be popular. Aussie beer sells very well;)

My palate is fine. As proof, I don't like or drink beer. Belgique Trappiste excepted.
