Cannot say currently, long time since I had one of those, it is an
"import" 
here, Dutch possible, German maybe, but I don't think so, Norwegian maybe. 
Have a vague impression that origin is northwestern Europe.

From memory it is a pleasant beer, but nothing to get excited about, and too 
darn expensive, on the odd occasion I buy some beer these days, I prefer 
Windhoek Export either a larger or pilsner, brewed in the German tradition. 
Brewed in Namibia of all places.

The beer produced by the local South African Brewries, leaves a bloke with a 
"funny" aftertaste, and a weird hangover if you drink too many,
also it takes 
longer to recover from drinking similar amount of beer. A mate of mine is 
convinced they use some "chemical" to hasten/shorten the brewing
process, and 
this contaminates what is essentially a very good beer. Something that does 
not happen with Nambian Brewries products.

If I figure I am in for a long beer drinking session and Millers Genuine 
Draught is available, I stick to it, as it is one of the lighter beers around, 
and does not get/taste bitter after the 4-5th bottle, but drinking 3-4 
Windhoek's is preferable.
