Resch's Draught

Tap to rate

Resch's Draught carries the name of the Sydney brewery Edmund Resch founded in 1898 and is brewed today mainly for the pub trade in New South Wales, where it has kept a following for decades. It is a full-strength Australian draught lager: pale gold in the glass, light grain and bread crust through the middle with a modest malt sweetness, and a moderate, clean bitterness that keeps the finish dry and short. Light in body.
