A golden beer with a nice head - though fast disappearing. The aroma is fresh and dominated by hops but also with malt notes. The taste is primarily refreshing - with a nice malt sweetness and a slight bitterness - a well balanced beer and great for a lager.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pilsener golden with a fine, white head. Fruity, hoppy aroma. Decent body with notes of malt and some brewing cereal. Very hoppy finish. Actually a fairly decent lager. 090106

Sweetish, bland and with obvious adjunct flavour. Not THAT bad if had under the African sun though.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and yellow with a fully diminished white head. Light cornish aroma. Flavour is medium dry lending towards a dry hoppy note. Mild cardboard in addition. Light acidic touch into the finish.

Can. Light yellow colour with white head. Aroma has a hint of sour rag. Flavour is not too bad, some residual sugar. Low carbonation for a pilsner, which I consider a plus. Aftertaste has a little bitterness.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Malts and slight hops in aroma. Flavour is sweetish malts along with hoppyness. Some metal in the flavour also, especially when it gets warmer the erraneous flavours are there.

Yellow colour with a small white head. Hoppy aroma. Refreshing malty flavour with an OK bitterness.

Man, they must grow an awful lot of corn in South Africa because they certainly didn’t spare any in this beer.
