Pretty much what you’d expect. It’s a light version of Windhoek, so it’s quite watery. Enjoyed at Hotel Heinitzburg in Windhoek, Namibia.

Jukkabro (3486) - Tampere, FINLAND - JUN 5, 2006
Light yellow colored, big white head. Thin and watery aroma with hops, lemon and sweetness. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is better than expected after aroma: fruity and hopped, mildly sweet and lemony aftertaste.

pivnizub (8000) - Bochum, Porúří, GERMANY - MAY 9, 2006
Can (from gold-digger MoritzF): Pale golden colour, big fluffy head that slowly diminishes; faint, but fresh hoppy nose, distinctive traces of sweet malt; light sweet-bitter flavour, light bodied; longer, slightly bitter-sweet finish, a bit watery. A good thirst quencher, nothing really unpleasant detectable....

MoritzF (7756) - Bochum, GERMANY - APR 5, 2006
(can) Clear pale golden colour with a frothy white medium head. Moderately sweet grainy and doughy aroma. Malty and hoppy taste, light bodied; very unpleasant metallic and bitter finish and aftertaste.

johndoughty (3286) - cheslyn hay, West Midlands, ENGLAND - NOV 14, 2005
Straw coloured with a strange bitterness thats hard to describe.For a low alcohol beer it had a surprising amount of body.Slightly medicinal.

Very little flavour and style. A huge plus if you are concerned about the alcohol... only 2.4%. Weak stuff.

Burner (78) - Cape Town, SOUTH AFRICA - NOV 28, 2004
A flat, boring light lager with absolutly no flavour other than the usual artifical flavours. Only bonus is it’s light on the ABV side. If i had a choice between a smirnoff ice and this, I’d rather go and drink out the mens urinal in the gents. Watery beer, no flavour, no body, the head disappears quickly.

bluevegie (3004) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - NOV 16, 2004
Pale golden body with white head. Initial skunky aroma then followed by a doughy yeasty aroma. Taste is certainly nothing flash, a little metallic bitterness and a bit of soap.

maupie (923) - Roosendaal, NETHERLANDS - AUG 14, 2004
This beer has a golden body - hue apperance and a white scum collar. I have drunk the beer from the bottle and it had a lot of carbonic acid. The initial flavor tast was mild bitter.
