At an Dekamarkt in zaandam, think about the world championship footbal in south africa. Bottle 330 ml, golden, thin head, sweet one with hints of marzepein and creme-caramel, some beer hints like grain and hopbitter,..nice one with only the 3 ingredients!

kerenmk (1241) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - JUN 1, 2013
Can sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks troubles. Very pale golden with white head. Malty piss-like aroma and a little corn water. Metallic, light bitterness that’s bland and yucky. Smooth, light body, corny finish.

Bottle from Zebras. Taste is like a standard lager. Can actually taste some hops or something so not terrible. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

300ml Bottle for £1.49 (The Cave bottle shop, Glasgow):
A very light beer on the nose that had me struggling to detect anything much at all. There is a little grain and some clean smelling, basic lager malts. I also smelt some corn and a few vegetable adjuncts on top.
Light and clear body that is a golden straw colour, topped with a half centimeter tall head that is quite bubbly looking and manages to last rather well.
Clean lager malts and a faint, grassy hop aroma coupled with a slightly grainy taste and some light bitterness. There is some corn in there too.
A light body although not quite a thin one or watery but light nonetheless. There is a very light bitter feel and the beer is slightly grainy with a dry finish.

The beer looked quite nice and head retention was pretty good but other than that it didn’t really offer anything else. Not a particularly noteworthy offering and a bit of a disappointment for my first South Africa beer, although not an entirely unexpected one.

nissebajer54 (12) - SWEDEN - MAR 8, 2013
Yet another "international lager" with absolutely no personality, or taste for that matgter. Watery, pale with diminishing head. The aroma there is contains hints of cardboard and...well overcooked veggies.

Bottle and Draught. This is a terrible beer. But, it works better than water.

Vaiz (2708) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - FEB 26, 2013
Draught. Clear golden pour, thin white head. Aroma of grainy malts, slightly metallic. Flavor is slightly bitter, a bit grainy. Boring pilsener and a bit off.

Can 330ml @ Geokkjer
Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, grain, honey and sugar. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter. Body is light, texture is thin, carbonation is soft.
