12 oz bottle. MFG date 22JUL06, best by 22JUL07. Damn, just missed it. Poured into my Sam Adams ultimate beer glass thin, just for fun. Yellow with a lasting white head. Quite a bit of carbonation. Sweet, grainy and grassy nose. Light, sweet grain flavors, a bit sticky, a touch of honey. Some buttery qualities emerge as it warms up a bit. A bit of grass bite in the finish. Not as bad as expected, fairly drinkable.

This was a pale straw colored brew that was sweet and smooth. Alittle cloudy as well went down well enough but not my favorite

330ml bottle. Pale straw with a thick white head that rapidly fades; typical malty aroma; sweet and malty flavour, quite robust and similar to the Eastern European lager style; finish is dry with some citrus and spice - quite complex, and unexpected.

Rated 8/1/07. Pale champagne color and appearance. Massive amounts of carbonation. The body of this beer could actually pass for sparkling wine were it not for the larger bubble size. There is a small, pure white head that leaves behind a snake-like lacing. The aroma is lemony and grassy, with a faint dusty overtone. Its not especially aromatic, but the smells that I did pick up were appealing. The flavor is moderately sweet, with lemony, creamy, and mildly spicy characteristics. The flavor is not at all skunky, which is a pleasant surprise. The body is light, but not nearly as watery as most pale lagers. The beer actually has alot of Witbier attributes.

Coming from Africa, I expected the worst out of this beer. Much to my delight, I was mistaken. I bought this beer just to try something different, and after having consumed it, I am a fan. This is honestly one of the best pale lagers that I’ve ever had. Moral of the story: Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Bottle. Sourish grassy nose. Cloudy pale yellow with no head. Surprisingly nice flavor, earthy with minor citrus notes. Crisp palate, balanced with a nice finish.
