Light yellow beer, some malt in the aroma. Thin watery flavour, but clean and refreshing.

Can, at home. Light yellow with a small white head. A light aroma and flavor of malt and hops. A disappointment.

Bottled 650ml (bottled 4 Feb 05, brewed by Rochees Breweries, Rajasthan)
Yellow color, small white head. Aroma of old socks, ash, malts and vegetables. Malty, grassy, hints of spinach. Light to medium bodied. Light palate. Boring plain lager.

Tasted from the bottle. Poured a brilliant pale gold body with a short interlude of foam. Aroma of grain husks and sweet caramelised sugars. Seemed quite sweet throughout, similar to aroma, with a slight carbonic bite upfront, lemon and pepper sides, and a mild, bitter and crisp swallow. Just another Lager, Really, but it was very clean. (’+’ for being free from Diacetyl, DMS, & skunkiness), and equally refreshing. Though bog standard, still a decent sweet, crisp beer, ...but not for me!!!

The first beer No.102 I’ve seen with a warning on it about over consumption. Pours clear, not foamy, smooth easy drink.

Enjoyable lager, not impressive, but has a unique faintly fruity flavour. Great on a hot day and as drinkable as a mass produced lager gets. I’ve had it on tap, can, and bottle and I actually prefer the bottle. You don’t get as bad of a metalic touch.

This is one of the "yellow beers" that I sampled during my recent trip to South Africa. Since these beers fit into the common catagory of "refreshing" pissy lagers, it was not worth the social stigma of whipping out my pen and taking tasting notes with my new South African aquaintences. Among these beers are Windhoek Lager, Amstel Lager, Castle Lager, and Hansa. Windhoek was the best of these, especially when it was on draft.

Golden with a small amount of foam. Aromas are sweet and malty grain, canned sweetcorn water and some pepper. Flavours are soft grain with sugar and a dry, bitter yet slightly unpleasant finish. Fizzier than it looks. Cold and wet - ideal as a cheap thirst quencher.
