Clear yellow, fluffy white head. Very distant malt aroma. Not much body, light on taste as well. Scant bitterness in the finish. Nothing to write home about.

from can: pours like any other macro lager but tastes slightly more vegetable (though more interesting). Malty and sweet, not much bitter. Stuff makes for easy and enjoyable drinking, even though the profile is pretty simple.

Not much going on here, just some usual scents of hops and alcohol, but not unappealing in any way. Appearance is half decent gold-brown colour with some head but nothing to cry home about. It’s a decent lager for drinking at the pub with malts, hops, no real alcohol flavour. After all, it’s one of Africa’s better lagers and not a bad choice for something widely distributed.

330 ml bottle. From Germany. Clear golden colour with small white head. Malty aroma with sweet corn and some hops. Malty flavour with some bitterness and sourness. Alcohol not all hidden.

Pure gold colored body with a moderate sized white cap, retention wasn’t too bad, and there where tons of bubble columns coming up from the bottom of the glass, nice looking beer. Very malty aroma, no trace of skunk just a smooth malty sent with a touch of slightly sour banana. Taste is strong all most to strong and its all malt, beer goes down smooth but has a savage bitterness in the finish luckily it only lasts a few seconds. Sweet bready after taste is left lingering in the mouth, mouth feel wasn’t too bad either medium bodied and good carbonation. Not a bad beer, not really a good beer, all say better than most lagers out there but nothing I really would ever crave or go out of my way to pick up. My marks seem to high!"

Pale yellow and clear. White head, mostly lasting. Aroma is very faint, sweet, corn. Flavor is moderate sweet, no bitterness. A bit unpleasent.
