Castle Lager

Brewed by South African Breweries (SABMiller)
Style: Pale Lager
Sandton, South Africa

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.

Bottled. Has a skunky, fruity scent to it. Hoppy taste, and an OK finish. My God, I should start drinking more real beers!

Bottle. Slightly sour barley malt aroma. LIght golden yellow color with small head and slight effervescence. Slightly sweet barley malt flavor with little hops - mild tasting. Nice taste and balance but nothing special - a typical pale lager.

Can (by MoritzF): Fruity-grainy nose with a light hoppy aroma and a touch of iron; golden coloured, bigger fluffy head, slowly diminishing; faint bitterness on a delicate sweet-malty base, extremely light-bodied; short, faint sweetish-bitter finish. Refreshing, but watery....................

Can from MoritzF. Apple aroma. Grainy flavor, dusty with apple. Thin. Apple and walnut bitter aftertaste.

Bottle. Clear golden colour with a white head. Malty cereal aroma. Sweet malty flavor some grainy hints. Dry short grainy aftertaste. No bitterness.

Botttle. Nice creamy lasting head. Yellow colour. Week malty aroma. Nice taste, a little sweet. OK palate, but ofcourse a little watery, but nice overseas pale lager.

Bottle from Asda. Pale gold/blonde colour, medium size white head that soon dissipates to nothing. A sweet, cereal like aroma. To taste this is sweet, a touch eggy with lots of cereal (corn), a bit of malt character, virtually no bitterness and zero hop character. The more you drink the more the harsh carbonation becomes evident and a metallic edge soon develops. It isn’t even fresh tasting like many other macro lagers so the sweet corn character soon gets too much and becomes a touch sickly. Poor characterless swill, but at least it lacks sufficient flavour so as actually to gravely offend.
