4% is full strength to Australians? Pfftt!
I think any beer under 3% is considered a lite beer and taxed differently. Over that is classed as full strength - XXXX is a diabolical beer for the record and not usually drunk in NSW - most full strength beers are around 5% - but obviously can be a lot higher.
I remember having a few Tennants Super Strength Beer at the Notting Hill Festival years ago - great if you want to get smashed in a hurry - but not for me. The Scottish friends thought nothing of it - enuf said lol
