Pale yellow. Thin, sweetish malta aroma, not much body. About what you can expect from a 2.0% lager from a desert country...

(Bottle 34 cl) Clear, pale golden with a dense and lacing white head. Mashy aroma. Light in body, a little malt, a little cardboard and a surprisingly well hopped finish. 030508

RE-rate: Tastes like a waterd down version of their regular lager, pretty watery, but i suppose its good for a light.

Canned on a South African Airways flight from London to Johannesburg. Pale golden coloured with a stable white head. Bready and malty aroma. Sweetish flavour of bread and brew mash. Not too light bodied. Decent light lager.

(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.
