No, this is not mint flavoured nor is it an Australian lager, which came before the successful one. It is a five to eight year old rum.
Albatros!

This beer is named 1492 in honour of Christopher Columbus.

Each of these beers commemorates a famous explorer and sailor. This one is for Roald Amundsen's expedition to traverse the Northwest Passage (1903–1906).
In 1903, Amundsen led the first expedition to successfully traverse Canada's Northwest Passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. He planned a small expedition of six men in a 45-ton fishing vessel, Gjøa, in order to have flexibility. His ship had relatively shallow draft. His technique was to use a small ship and hug the coast. Amundsen had the ship outfitted with a small gasoline engine. They traveled via Baffin Bay, the Parry Channel and then south through Peel Sound, James Ross Strait, Simpson Strait and Rae Strait. They spent two winters (1903–04 and 1904–05) at King William Island in the harbor of what is today Gjoa Haven, Nunavut, Canada. During this time, Amundsen and the crew learned from the local Netsilik Inuit people about Arctic survival skills, which he found invaluable in his later expedition to the South Pole. For example, he learned to use sled dogs for transportation of goods and to wear animal skins in lieu of heavy, woolen parkas, which could not deter cold when wet.
Leaving Gjoa Haven, he sailed west and passed Cambridge Bay, which had been reached from the west by Richard Collinson in 1852. Continuing to the south of Victoria Island, the ship cleared the Canadian Arctic Archipelago on 17 August 1905. It had to stop for the winter before going on to Nome on the Alaska District's Pacific coast. Five hundred miles (800 km) away, Eagle City, Alaska, had a telegraph station; Amundsen traveled there (and back) overland to wire a success message (collect) on 5 December 1905. His team reached Nome in 1906. Because the water along the route was sometimes as shallow as 3 ft (0.91 m), a larger ship could not have made the voyage.
At this time, Amundsen learned that Norway had formally become independent of Sweden and had a new king. The explorer sent the new King Haakon VII news that his traversing the Northwest Passage "was a great achievement for Norway". He said he hoped to do more and signed it "Your loyal subject, Roald Amundsen." The crew returned to Oslo in November 1906, after almost 3.5 years abroad. It took until 1972 to have the Gjøa returned to Norway. After a 45-day trip from San Francisco on a bulk carrier, the Gjøa was placed in her current location on land, outside the Fram Museum in Oslo.

This one indicates a slight tug of the forelock to the late Sir Terry Pratchett.

Another beer from New Zealand but this has a story attached to it.
About this the brewers wrote,
"It was in September of 1854 that great-great-great-granddad J.R. Dodson arrived in Nelson aboard the Marchioness, a 176 ton brigantine. After several months at sea avoiding pirates, singing sea shanties, and listening to the same stories about giant squid, J.R. Dodson needed one thing: a beer. After getting over his severe ship-lag, he set to work on his first brew, a porter. Like the original, ours is a rich, dark ale brewed from roasted barley, balanced by ale and Munich malt"

Today Merman pilsner.
Could not decide if this was more apt as a beer or should have been in humour of the sea thread. I will let you decide.
