Bottle at Shebeen bar. Not interesting. Aromas of citrus and straw. Taste is sweet, and short lived. Palate is thin and watery. Yellow, with a thin head.

bottle - decants a pale gold lager with a rocky 1 finger white cap - poor retntion bit leave lace. Well cabonated. Moserate floral saaz aroma, light graininess. light Beck’s-like flavour, actually fairly decent for a light lager. Crisp, clean, quenching. When I spotted this at the store I was prepared to write it off as just another 3rd world austerity lager but it has flavor that stands up, if only domestic Canadian corporate brewed light beers were this flavourful I might drink one now and again in the dog days.

Bottle. This is one of the better pale lagers brewed in Africa. Not a bad beer on a hot day.

Bottle 330ml
Aroma: dusty sugars with sweet grainy backing , slightly light struck notes. Soft golden ale like feel vs. lager character.
Look: straight golden , clear with quickly diminishing top. Remnants of lace.2+
Taste: medium light bodied , grainy with con like elements. Light grassy touches with clean mineral backing. Clean finish. Pleasant gentle hop notes on top. More of lager character as you go. Pleasant fairly dry finish.

6-pack at the LCBO. Pours a clean golden colour with a frothy white head, good retention and very nice lace, especially for a light beer. Malty nose with a mild hop balancing things (Saaz-like pilsner). Becomes lightly sweet after breathing. Medium-thick mouthfeel with a little stickiness. Again, the malt well-blended with the hop with not overpowering sweetness. Actually, quite good for a light beer. Totally feels like a regular Euro lager, and even that I would say is above average. Nothing light here.

22.02.2013. 0,33l Bottle. Thanks to Yngwie. Yellow colour with white head. Aroma of sweet grain. Rather lively carbonated. Quite a lot of malt sweetness. Moderate to low bitterness. Soft bitter aftertaste with thin body.

Bottle. Pale yellow color, slight citrus aroma, sour taste high carbonation, abrupt finish. Very similar to Carlsberg both in taste and bottle apperance.

Gul i färgen, vitt skum. Doftar söt malt, majs, tunt, metalliskt. Smakar söt malt, citrus, unket, metall. Trist.

Bottle, 4%. Bready aroma, a little ash. Clear golden colour. Small stable white head. Bready flavour. A little watery, but not too unpleasant.

Bottle. Pours clear pale golden airy white head. Blurred, rather ashy aroma of hop. Sweetish aroma of malt with hoppy notes. Slightly dry finish. Richly carbonated. A good thirst quencher but nothing particularly mpressive.
