Clear pale golden color with a thin frothy white head. Sweet corn aroma. Sweet flavor, lots of corn flavors but not overly offensive.

Bottle. Sour malt aroma. Light yellow with small head. Light sour malt flavor - smooth. Decent African lager - not spectacular, not offensive.

Hop aroma. Crystal cler yellow colour with poor head and lacing. Bitter hop flavour. Fizzy palate.

I was hesitant tasting a beer from Nambia, but it’s not a bad lager. It’s thin and drinkable, like a lager should be, with a little bit of residual sweetness to give it some flavor. I would not be ashamed to serve this to a friend.

Straw colour, clear with minimal head. Aroma of some chilliwack corn and grain. Thin, slightly sweet and no hops noticeable. One for the country checklist and little else.

330 ml green bottle. Pours straw yellow with minimal white head that disappears quickly. Grainy aroma with some grassy hops. Sweetish malt flavour with low bitterness. No body to speak of. Short uneventful lightly malty finish with low bitterness and metallic aftertaste. Inoffensive and tolerable in small quantities. Must be served quite cold.

pours golden yellow, very small white head, aroma of grainy water and corn, flavor is off, the body is frail, nothing appealing with this one.

12 oz bottle at Quenchers in Chicago. Small fluffy head atop a clear yellow body...minimal grainy, dry nose, clean and unskunked but very dull...body clean and watery, little good flavor to speak of if nothing terribly bad either....bit metallic late, and really, really watery after a few sips, no damn body at all.
