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.

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

(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

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

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.
