Gee man, some fellow comes into wetherspoons everyday and buyz about 5-6 bottles over the cource of the day and no1 else has ever even touched the stuff. until i had to be that unlucky one to see what this guy had been drinking. Its like super fizzy without any head, and a sort of really bad sweetness to it. looks terrible tastes terrible. Supposed to be south africa’s best beer, well they can keep it there then.

12 oz bottle - I bought this for a lawnmower beer and that is just what it is. Pours golden with a fair white head. It all goes down hill from here.. Terrible skunk aroma let me spend about 10 seconds sniffing it before I was disgusted. Flavor was sugary sweet corn. Light on the palate. Quenched my thirst after lawn mowing but water might have been the better choice..

Waterfront Bar, King’s College London. Not bad for its 1£ price per bottle. Somewhat quality, but again in light of the price. Almost a baked foods feel and taste to it. Strange. Tanglible carbonation and hops, which battle each other.

Pretty lousy, I drank it, but its comparable to a cheap American Pale lager, just like Jupiler, its a beer I’ve wanted to try for years, but it was bad.. lots of corn goodness.

Poured a pale gold...smallish white cap the dissipates quickly. Lottsa gas in this baby! Nose: well there is none to speak of...light smell of wet paste board like the near-beers. Took a gulp and got a big mouthfull of reeking corn water.....that’s all....sink pour for the rest of this ...how do you say "hog faeces" in South African? Sorry for the abruptmess but it sickens me garbage like this gets shelf space in the Ontario liquor monoply but Ayinger can’t be imported...friggin unholy it is!!!! God drinks good lager...and he’s pissed off at crap like this.

Pours a very clear gold with a half-inch white head. Vaguely chalky malt aroma. Taste is a medicinal malt with a chalky bitterness and a very astringent mouthfeel. I did not care for this beer at all ... it’s like a weak domestic lager with a spoonful of Theraflu in it. Worthy of a drain pour, which is exactly what it received.

Bottled 10.14.04. Pours gold with a tiny white head. Apples and sweet malt dominate the aroma. Hoppy start with a mellow bread flavor. Light and fizzy palate, and somewhat spicy.

A classic discount lager. Quite metallic and artificial. No bitternes. Quite boring and watery. No head.

Bottle. Minimal white head which disappated quickly. I rarely drink lager, however this wasn’t as bad as other lagers I’ve tried. It also came with a cute reindeer hat!

Can. Quite pale, yellow colour with a white head. Sweetish aroma with cereals. Flavour is equally sweetish with cereals. A bit dry and metallic. Some bitterness. Milky notes as it warms.
