Windhoek Lager

Brewed by Namibia Breweries
Style: Pale Lager
Windhoek, Namibia

Golden with a huge, white head. The aroma has notes of straw and malt and the flavour is sweetish with light notes of malt and a light bitterness. The overall impression is rather thin, but it’s nice and quenching. 2298

From a 11.5 oz. green bottle with a best before date on the back label, sampled at a cool cellar temperature in a lager glass. Poured a clear lager golden with a large, frothy white head, decent retention, minimal amount of laced sticking. A nice pale lager nose, grassy, raw pale grains and musty hops, clean and quick to point. Good steady carbonation, not fizzy, a plus in my book, and a crisp, dry, smooth light bodied mouthfeel. Has all the tastes one would expect from a Euro Pale Lager, sweet grainy malts, musty, spicy hops the deliver a good mild bitterness, a cleansing bitterness, and a dry, crisp, clean finish, well done. Easy drinkability on this brew from Namibia, highly quaffable on a muggy, warm midwestern day, makes me want to try more beers from this brewery.

Skunky aroma and taste, smooth overall. Not too bad, a bit watery though, also has a slight smokiness and a metallic aftertaste.

12 oz bottle-pours a white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is grain, light hops. Taste is grain, light hops-flat, dry, musty. OK carbonation.

Grainy, malt, yeast aroma. Clear pale with thin head. Yeast, grains, and my sknunk flavour. Smooth and refreshing on a hot Nambia day.

Bottle, light grain aroma,kind of buttery taste, not very good a touch of off sourness. No hops or much in the way of malt to speak of. Basically its what I expected. Good imagine buttery popcorn flavored with rotten lemons.

(Bottled) Paleish golden with a medium, foamy head. Aroma of German-style hops and mildly buttery maltiness. Hay-grassy-hoppy flavor with some buttery maltiness. Light-bodied, high-carbonated, but reasonably balanced palate. Uninteresting, but not that bad - much like the pilseners sold in Lidl.

Pour is a super light yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is almost nothing. Some kind of grain. FLavor is wet paper bag with some grass. The only reason to get this one is another country rated.
