Smells of corn starch, alcohol, and some grains. Has an average yellow appearance. Tastes of sour grains with some hops on the back end. To be honest, it doesn’t seem very "special" to me!

At the BP station near the InterContinental Hotel in Lusaka, Zambia. A step above Windhoek Lager and definitely stronger. Still an average, unassuming, not too exciting lager.

From Vin de Pays of Long Beach, CA. Poured a smallish white head above a body of clear, medium gold. Aroma waa pleasant yet atypical, with maybe some malt but with also an unidentifiable quality. Rather like the taste, in fact. Mouthfeel was okay but did lighten up at the finish. An average yet drinkable beer.

Bottle. I’m not quite sure how this ended up on the shelves in Pittsburgh, but whatever. Pours a medium/light gold with a pretty good head on it. Aromas and flavor are similar: corn, grass and a little bit of honey or pear sweetness... (but then maybe it’s just more corn.)

"Premium Natural Power" is not a way I would describe this beer. Pours an almost fluorescent yellow color, very clear, highly carbonated with a thin white head. Aroma is pretty much a typical pale lager smell; sweet graininess with lots of noble hops. Flavor has the hops hitting first with an almost hay like taste, moving into a sweet grainy middle and finishing with a slight alcohol presence and very dry. Beer is smooth but does have a bit more flavor than the typical pale lager.

Golden body, slight head. Hoppy and corny nose. Some sweetness in the taste. Pretty light and watery. Corny finish.

Pale yellow pour with a white head. Light aroma of malts. It tasted like raw malts. Simply wort with alcohol added came to mind. Light body.
