Sorry Baldie, but as other posters have mentioned as well, Bintang is a 4.7% alcohol by volume brew. This figure is written on the bottle label and on the Bintang official home page. Nowhere does it describe the content as a "not more than (or less than?) number,....". It is all very well to suspect something but even the Indonesian brewing industry has official standards that must be achieved and sustained.
It really is no big deal but the simple truth is that Bintang is a full strength beer.
Have a couple for me if you are able.
Cheers
