330ml green bottle. Bottled as Bushman’s. Pours golden with a soapy fast vanishing white head. Aroma attempts grassy hops but comes off as skunky and unpleasant. I’d say it was off, but the place where i buy my beer keeps everything in a refrigerated walk in coller with no windows. Flavour is grainy and sweet with a fair amount of grass/skunk hop flavour. Grainy finish. A lot of carbonation, light body. Bad beer with an inflated "imported" price tag.

Bottle -- Nondescript golden colour with quickly diminishing head that leaves a fair bit of lacing. Better than average aroma for a lager with the more prominant malt adding interest. Soapy mouthfeel. Flavour is malty with some twangy bitterness at the end. Pretty unexceptional. One bottle is enough. Best drunk with food as the malt gets cloying by itself.

A golden lager with a thick dissipating white head. A crisp malt aroma, with light hopping. In mouth, a decent lager, with crisp malt,light metallic hopping, and a peppery finish. Bottled as Bushman’s Premium Quality Lager
