There is--or was--a very similarly named beer brewed in New Zealand and reviewed here at Beerpal. But I checked out the website, and apparently this is a different beer. Did they buy it from New Zealand? I don't know, though I'll hazard a "probably". And apparently they re-labeled it for export, or have recently undergone a label change and haven't updated their website. At any rate, I saw this at a local beer store, and although I was a little worried about the green bottle, I gave it a spin. Not skunked, thankfully. But not delicious. Think Fosters, but without much bitterness. In fact, there was an annoying corn syrupy sweetness that started at the first sip and lasted throughout the bottle. Not very tasty. Standard mass-produced lager color and aroma. All-in-all, not much to redeem it. Buy it if you collect labels. Otherwise, save your money for something better.
