very nice malt after taste. clean unique taste and with a very inviting colour. alrounded for a mass produced beer. head just lies on the thin side but carbonation through the drink is good. overall a very drinkable beer that should definately be tried

Metalic taste, sharp and bitter. Hops taste very faint. Beer looks better than it tastes. Weak aroma of corn.

typical lager - perfect for the hot climate in South Africa. When served bitterly cold an extremely refreshing beverage

Taste’s slightly better than an American macrobrew, but isn’t very far ahead either. It is lacking intensity and the finish is weak. Not much character, but nothing offensive here either. If I were in the store again I’d consider buying Bud over this, but at least with this you don’t look like such a loser. The biggest problem with this beer is there’s very little to critique it on, since it’s very weak and inoffensive.
