Bottle. Medium gold with a thin head. Aroma of dust and malt. Flavour is fairly standar lager

A light, easy-drinking lager. Drink it ice cold and on a hot day, and you will enjoy it!

Sturdy can via wife’s co-worker. Smells like grass rubbed into old socks. One dimensional. Tastes like apartheid. Corn prevails...and that’s a positive trait. Robust head.

Can. Really not a good beer. Pale and generic, not very refreshing. Kind of off.

450ml can. A decent sharp tasting lager. Not really better or worse than macros the world over.

Bottle at Cape in Reading. 33 mL bottle poured into a pint glass. Tastes malty and a bit acidic, a bit like Sagres. Smells malty, little else. Its mass market fodder as you’d expect, only had it to tick off South Africa on the countries list. To be fair, its not so bad.

Bottle. A golden yellow colour with a high white head. An aroma of fruit, malt and hops. A light sweet taste with a hoppy finish.

Ein recht stabiles Bier, obwohl die angekündigte "Leichte Bitterkeit" ausbleibt. Der Anfang ist recht hopfig, ein wenig malzig. Recht mild isses und natürlich süffig. Zum Ende hin ein wenig Herb, dieses Aroma schächt doch direkt wieder stark ab, um dann, zusammen mit einem etwas metallernen Geschmack noch eine Zeit lang anzuhalten. Fazit: Da dies mein erstes südafrikanisches Bier ist, habe ich keine großen Verlgeichsmöglichkeiten. Ausbaufähig ist dieses Bier auf jeden Fall noch. Test vom 17.11.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,7,10,6,13,8 - 8,50

Horrible beer that has little redeeming qualities other than being my first African beer.
