Does not immediately stand out against other commercial beers. That is, not until your first sip! Flavourful for a beer, Windhoek is one of the few commercial beers that consistently entices an ABF.

330 ml bottle. Golden with small white head. Aroma of malt, grain and some hop notes. Flavor is slightly sweet, grainy, malt, cardboard, hints of citrus and grass.

(bottle) clear pale yellow colour with a medium tall white head; aroma of noble hops; watery palate; refreshing if watery flavour; not bad

Bouteille verte 330ml. De couleur dorée pâle et claire. Nez de légumes bouillis sucrés, de grains de malt pâle sucrés, léger de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé) avec des traces de plastique. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture légèrement aqueuse. Goût de légumes bouillis sucrés avec des notes de plastique lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de malt pâle assez sucrés puis en finale l’on retrouve une très légère amertume de houblon herbeux (gazon mouillé) avec des traces de maïs sucré. Post-goûty moyen-court, très légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec un léger résiduel de grains sucrés.

Not at all bad. Green bottle skunk that I don’t actually mind - gives some funk to a lager at least. Finishes crisp with touch of sweetness. Would certainly rather be drinking this in Namibia, but the lcbo keeps bringing this stuff in, so I gotta rate it. Bottle.
