Castle Lager

From a 11.5 oz. long neck brown bottle with a list of ingredients on the neck label and no bottled/freshness date. Made a typical macro lager appearance, poured a clear macro lager golden with a sudsy white head. Had a nose of corn husks with little else. A weakly crisp, but watery smooth light bodied mouthfeel, below average drinkability. Corny and husky with that sweet lager maltiness, weak and watery tasting overall. That is not much here that makes it worth trying or recommending.

Can, brewed at Tanzanian Breweries. Golden, with a small, white head. Mild, mostly floral aroma, and a thin flavor of malt and some hops. Thin body, and a bitter and metallic finish. Quite boring, and not too pleasant. (060604)

typical lager - perfect for the hot climate in South Africa. When served bitterly cold an extremely refreshing beverage

Can. Yellow colour with a white head. Dry malt aroma. Dry malt and corn flavour. Typical pilsner from a warm country.

Bottle: Tanks to Bjorn Helge Ose. Yellow colour, with awhite foam who died fast in the glass. Aroma of mais and hops. Sweet malt and salty! mouth feeling Thin body. Short bitter finish.

Yellow colored, lively carbonation. Big white head. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is better with fruits, sweetness and hops, aftertaste lasts with drying hops.

450 mL can: Pale colour with thin white head that disappears almost instantly. A definite hoppy or fruity aroma which doesn’t lie: there is something sweet in the taste, with no bitter after-taste (a bonus). The cynic will call this a watery beer: but what do you want from a pale lager from South Africa?! Very drinkable, but decent body & flavour, and very clean finish for a lager. Right on for hot weather & summer snacks.

Bottle. Light pale color with a minimal frothy white head that diminished slowly. Light grainy aroma. Lighjt to medium body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a moderate sweet finish. Drinkable,but not my first choice.
