In the supermarket in Kaikoura, nice drop too.

Prefer IPA's usually, but could drink this if it wasn't for the price.  $11.00 on special, so guess that makes it about £4.50 a bottle.   Didn't realise it was 10% either.  :cheers:

That's not a bad price I'll keep an eye out for it as I love a nice beer every once in a while .
Hertog Jan is a particular Dutch favourite they do a great range of beers if you see any others try them.
Last year a few friends were at a camping place in the northern part of the Netherlands hertog jan was €1 a bottle was a cheap drunken evening I can tell you but next day no hangover.

Nice find.

Good beer (imo)

I have a couple of them casks stored in a cool, dry place. They get even better over the years.

I think... they dont even have a best before date. (maybe for export)

They have just released a few which they brew in Port or whiskey barrels... Haven't tried them...yet  :cheers:

There is a date on it, but couldn't fathom it.  It says 04/10/41.  That's a long best before date, 22 - 23 years!  :lol:
