Almistva blast from the past. Smells like a traditional NZ beer from the 80's or 90's and comes in a ye old school 750ml bottle.  Here if we drink a crate it's 12 of these 750ml bottles in it. Crate day is a thing here. 12 of these would likely kill you though as each bottle is 4 standard drinks. NZ crate beer is usually 4% (and kinda crap).  As luck would have it we had a Samoan barmaid the other night and it's the only beer she likes. She was as unaware you could buy it locally. She said back home it's just a beer roughly their equivalent of a Heineken/Steinlager/Budweiser. Except it's 6.7%. Anyway last time I think I gave it a decent rating. Has a nice hopped or grain aftertaste think I have found my Baltika 7 replacement except it's stronger and a bit smoother.  I would be lying if I said it's great but it's not bad for a generic macro lager. More you drink better it tastes. You can tell it's a classy drink by the green bottle, crooked label and the 80's or 90's vibe.  Better than a 7  so 8/10 in the macro lager category . Would drink it over a generic NZ/Aussie/US lager. It has flavour (unlike Bud), avoids the skunk taste (cheers Heineken) and avoids the unpleasant Australasian macro lager taste (VB Bitter, Speights, DB Export etc).  Kicks like a mule as an added bonus. Would probably get an extra point hot summer's day and you want to get plonked.  3 of these cost similar to two of those USA UPAs I had last night but clock in at 12 standard drinks. Talofa.  Well done Samoa thumbs up. 8.5 beer advocate. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/12965/27760/[/URL]</blockquote>
