Brewed by Namibia Breweries
Style: Pale Lager
Windhoek, Namibia

Golen colour with off-white head.Aroma of hops and malt thin and watery with short finish.

Finally...I found it....that name of this beer, I mean. Had this at Jiko, a restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Felt like going native but not really. Drinkable, light, bubbly. The waiter said it was the heaviest on flavor of the beers there, which is odd.

Bottle-Hey, another continent visited. Pour with a large, carbonated infused head, the aroma was grassy lager smell with a touch of skunkiness. The taste was a light grain affair.

Firm grassy hop aroma backed by light malts. Brass tinged golden color with a very respectable white head. A bit thin bodied. Lightly carbonated. Clean light malt, accompanied by grassy hop with a slight bit of spice. The finish is rather dry, and the mouth is left slightly tingly. Really very good for a pale lager. It could be matched against a number of pilseners.

3rd world pale lager in a green bottle, so you pretty much know what you’re getting here. As expected, a servicable beer, but rather skunked (best befoore 04/07). But y’know, I’ve heard Namibia is trendy now, what with all the celebrities and the babies and whatnot. So its got that going for it. Rated on 7/7/07.

Clear yellow color, medium white rocky head. Aroma is soft malty, some hop, grass. Bit sweetish and soft bitter taste. Bit crisp, bit refreshing. Ah well, not so bad.

Bottle... Clear yellow lager with a tall, fizzy, white head. Aroma of honey, barely kilned malt, and yeast. The thin flavor offers little... mild bread and honey notes. Well-balanced and certainly not offensive, but uninspired. Light-bodied and watery with fizzy carbonation. Short, clean finish.

This was your typical lager beer. Not much on the nose and not much on the mouthfeel or palate. Just crsip and somewhat refreshing.
