Take some water. Add some brown food colouring and some sugar. That should do it.

Seriously, it's a pretty dull beer. As Glen points out, the style is most accurately called New Zealand Draught.

Yeah, I'd be aiming for probably 1044ish, 10 - 15 IBU, NZ pale malt as the base, a good whack of refined sugar, some caramel food colouring, maybe a touch of caramel malt. Lager yeast fermented on the warm side.

I realize this is one of their mass beers. I just loved it. It has it's own flavor and I have YET to have anything come close to tasting like it did.

It's really hard to put a finger on all the little things that went into it.

Fair enough mate, each to their own.

I wouldn't brew it here because it would be easier to get a dozen from the supermarket if I wanted it, different story if you're overseas though.

You could try searching on the forum at realbeer.co.nz, or aussiehomebrewer.com.au for some more info.
