Good on a hot day. Very refreshing. Theres plenty of better alternatives though. Regardless of where you live. Tusker is a little better I think.

Caimed to be the most popular beer in South Africa. Thin/weak flavor, with prominent corn. Yet another pale lager, and not a particularly good one.

[1207-20080317] 450mL can. Corn field and sandy beach aroma. Clear, yellow body with a big medium-lasting foamy white head and nice lacing. Gentle corn stacks and mild grains flavour. Light body is watery. Bland but probably better with spicy food.

Can on a plane. Light in appearance and in taste. Grain/corn taste. Minimal hops. Thoroughly average.

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.
