It’s quite nice, especially if you are used to American beer taste. Not as harsh as Canadian beer, goes down very smooth. Ice cold and out of a bottle is best: aluminum makes it taste funny I reckon.

If you do, check the label to see where it is brewed. It used to be brewed under license by Molsons in Canada (I’m talking mid-1980’s here, things may have changed) — if so, it won’t taste too different to Molson’s Canadian which kind of defeats the whole point, ay.

The real stuff is brewed in Melbourne Australia. I *believe* that was the stuff that was always sent to the US for Excise reasons, but I might be wrong about that. It pays to check, ay.

> I’m a plain ole’ “Bud” man. For me, nothing quite “hits the spot” like an ice cold Budweiser!

Budweiser is considered a “luxury” brand in NZ. Last time I bought it, I got a six-pack for thirty bucks! Still, it was a nice change and a special occasion (4th July).

I that case, I will try & search out the "real deal." ("Aussie-brewed") ANd BTW< you can get a six of Bud here in the States for $5.99 a six in the supermarket. Prolly even less in a local beer distributor. I'm *anxiously* waiting for the day that they come out with a "mini-keg" like Heineken (sp?) "Bud on Tap" in my fridge. Nirvana! errrr, "Heaven!"
