Average larger, definately my first choice nor second ... the list goes on.

seriously, what are people thinking? i guess if you have no other choice....

Not great, very canadian and iot the good canadian. Golden with not much nose. Good on a hot day moewing the lawn, but not much more.

bottle @ walkabout wimbledon. Bland, corny, watery. Very average lager. Can’t really think of anything else to say...

Bottled 33cl. It pours a golden beer with a quick diminishing white head. The nose is of corn. Quite assertive aroma. The taste is slightly sour, sweet with corn and malt. Metallic with hay and marshmallows. Very aggressive. The finish is strange with unenjoyable grassy, buttery hints. Artificial and cloying. This beer somehow reminds me of malt liquor.

Wow this was some pretty questionable stuff, kind of raunchy (a word I’ve never used to describe beer with before). Maybe stuff made in South Africa doesn’t do so well when sent half way across the world. Tasted like, chemicals, not even really beer-like. To be fair, it’s probably better if sampled IN South Africa. Why can the LCBO get this, but not the sweet stout from the same brewery?

450ml can. Pours a pale lager yellow with a large foamy head. Aroma is very yeasty with some malts. Flavour is water. H2O. Has some feint sweetness in the front and a small amount bitterness in the finish like any lager. But mainly water. Boring and below average.
