CaptainCougar (6749) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - SEP 26, 2011
440 ml can shared by Travlr: Pours a clear deep golden with a spotty-lacing white head. Has a mild pale malty nose with some lightly floral and grassy hops. Starts with light effervescent carbonation and some grainy malt with a drier bittering hop character before a slightly fizzy finish.

GT2 (3440) - Washington DC, USA - AUG 29, 2011
440mL Can courtesy of Travlr. The pour is a clear straw with a no head retention. Nose is actually quite good- thick honey. Taste is sweeter, mildly chalky, not as good as the Bohinger’s beer from Zimbabwe but still inoffensive with a handful of oddities in the taste I can’t quite pick out. Regardless, typical macro beer that would do well in the dry Namibian desert.

Can shared by Travlr. Pours clear pale straw yellow with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is grain and straw malt with lightly sweet corn. Flavor is malty with light hop bitterness and corn. Light body and warmth, medium carbonation.
