Bottled@SBWF2008. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is hops, malts and some quit sweet vegetably notes. Flavour is much the same, with some hoppyness. Quite clean for being African.

Golden coloured. Light bodied. Slightly sweetish, clean and with light bitterness. An OK lager.

Bottle, 4.5%. Almost clear yellow colour. Very small white head. The flavour is bready with a little plastic and yeasty fruitiness.

Golden body with a soft sparkle; not much head. Plasticy, painty phenols mix with husky malts in an aroma that reminds me of Soviet-era factories lurching along in the Stans forty years beyond obsolescence. There’s some faint hop on the palate to add colour to the fairly lifeless bready malts, overt minerals and lingering phenols. And the poor rastaman who journeys all the way to Zion to find them drinking "batty" beer...

Bottle at Chris_O bottlefest 2007. Gold with thin white head. Not a good aroma, it’s a lager.

Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are sweet malt, straw, citrus and notes of honey.
