It's 6% abv, from what I read. That's potent for a light lager, but not all that strong compared to a lot of other beers. New Belgium sells a reasonably-priced (as opposed to something like Chimay, which is still one of the best) trippel which is 7.8%. Tasty, and has an interesting coriander flavoring that grows on you.

The Mrs. and I were at Sam’s Club when they were having a tasting of Bud Platinum. One guy in the group said its taste reminded him of another beer, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. I tasted it and said “Old English 800.” Everyone started laughing and agreeing and telling tales of OE8, Colt 45, etc. The Bud guy started to protest, talking about superior ingredients and brewing methods but then just gave up.
