Beer-a-Day #168
Uh-oh, it’s in a green bottle. Oh good, it’s not from Europe. Oh wait, it’s from New Zealand, which is even farther away.
And then they go and mock American Football right there on the label. They’re not exactly endearing themselves to me, and I haven’t even opened the bottle.
Once opened, the beer is obviously lightstruck. I get a waft of that skunky odor before I even pour it into a glass. Straw in color with a white head. For aroma, I get nothing but skunk. Not much taste, and what there is is pretty foul. This one will be poured down the drain.
It might be good when it’s fresh, but unless I find myself in New Zealand I won’t ever be buying this again.
You’d be mad to drink macrocrap like this if you were in New Zealand. They do actually make very good beer there.
Well, I was trying to be kind.
When it comes to Lion Nathan (or SABMiller, or A-B InBev, or Heineken, or any other transnational macrobrewer) you have to be cruel to be kind.
