Castle Lager

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

Nothing out of the ordinary here. Pale yellow body with tons of fizzies! Aromas of slight corn, and can? Hmmm, interesting. Tastes like a mixture of can and a slight hops taste. Not that great.

Pours an extremely pale light gold, with lots of carb. Quick no show white head. Slight caramel malty aroma with hints of earth. Crisp with soft hop bitters, mildly earthy malts. Notes of apples, spice and licorice. Artificial sweet shows up in the finish. Dull average. Drinkable for a canned.

Castle is an average beer. The local african beers are a lot nicer in flavour, however Castle is not as carbonated

Flat thin aroma... weakest body ever... Bad taste with a hunt hint of burned rubber.... Not a good beer

(330 ml bottle). Pale golden colour, large thick head. Fruity melon-like aroma, flavour is typical industrial lager, a bit sweet.

Bottled at Graskop Hotel, Graskop, Oos-Transvaal. Golden coloured. Sweetish and rather bland with a slightly sharp and metallic finish. Light to medium bodied. Medium to high carbonation level.

Poured with a large head but full of big bubbles so it went away right smart and didn't even leave lacing. Looks like it's going to be very watery. Strong metallic aroma. I can smell it from over here. I guess the basic flavours of a lager are here but with no real individual style or anything. Also they seem to have been with budget ingredients. ahh well, I am guess they export it to make room on their own shelves which you have to admire hehehe

Tinned, Pasteurised. Pale yellow frothy water. This is a thin cheap poor beer with little to recomend it by. Tinny, copper flavoured, depressingly awful.
