Pours a three finger white head that fades slowly to a thin layer leaving a little lace. Crystal clear pale amber color. Grassy nose. Light-medium carbonation and light-medium bodied. Flavor is sweet hay, hops must be balancing as this is rather inoffensive. As usual special doesn’t mean anything. $1.83 for a 11.5oz bottle from Manchester Wine and Liquors Manchester, CT.

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.

MrRoss (646) - Delta, British Columbia, CANADA - JUL 7, 2009
UPDATED: JUL 8, 2009 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.)

Narnad (1136) - Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA - FEB 15, 2009
"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.
