    Date Consumed: 22nd January 2014
    Beer: Matutu Mai Lager
    Brewed: Titikaveka, Rarotonga, Cook Islands
    Size: 330mL
    Alcohol Content: 5.0%
    Sourced: Matutu Brewery, Titikaveka, Rarotonga, Cook Islands
    World Beer Rating: 8/10

    Notes: This bottle of beer was fresh filled from the brewery itself, so fresh it wasn’t even capped! A lovely beer from a hot and humid island. Slightly citrus, a tiny bit malty. Very drinkable, I would pick a few bottles of this up if exported to Australia!
