Re-rate: the wierd thing about this beer is that i actually respect it. Sweetish start, with a dry-sih slight hop-bitter finish, Linc is totally right, their is nothing offensive about it, and yes i agree a bit floral, pretty good for a macro lager.

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.

Viper666 (2656) - Saint-Hubert, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 4, 2013
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.

solidfunk (1789) - Ontario, CANADA - MAR 11, 2013
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.
