Golden color, decent white head. Faint fruit esters and hops in the nose. Cardboardish malty with some sugary notes in the background. Drinkable but not very interesting or good.

Pretty looking, dry, inoffesive but generally tasteless. Not much more to be said, except that you don’t expect to see Namibian beer in New Zealand.

Light yellow, thin white head. Grassy aroma with some notes of canned corn. Sweet start in flavor with a very slight bitterness in the finish. Biscuit. Light bodied and a clean mouthfeel. Fine for a pale lager.

Can: Pours a weak lemonade shade of yellow - with fierce cabonation and a soapy head. The aroma is mostly corn, with the ever so sublte caramel sweetness and grassy hops below. The body is thin, light and refreshing - with more of the same. Not too terribly bad for a 4% ABV pale lager - and nothing terribly off about it. Still it just bores me and is a step down from most BMC products. Drink only in desparation.

can. pale golden hue. minimal head with light beer smell. slight hop flavor with a slightly bitter finish. average tasting pale lager.

Winhoek Lager Bier. Golden colour. Aroma of some maltiness. Flavour is bit waterish with some malts and hops to it. An allright tasting pale lager beer.

Bottle. Amber beer with a whitish head. Slightly skunked aroma (green bottle). Malt flavor with a bit of a metallic taste and some earth. Medium body.

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, pilsener golden with a small, white head. Aroma of brewing cereal. Medium-bodied and overly carbonated. Notes of malt and brewing cereal and an edge of soap and metal. Raw, bitter finish. 240906
