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.

I’ve not met a pale lager I have liked, so let’s see if this can change my mind. Typical sticky straw smell doesn’t really give me much hope. Pours straight yellow with a little bit of lingering head. really light mouthfeel, with a slightly sticky syrupy taste that’s quick to go down, but not particularly tasty. It’s very meh.

Golden with thin head. Aroma of cereal. Sweet flavor, similar to a Helles, very light on the tongue, carbonation on the low side so it not so prickly like an American light lager.

11.5oz bottle-pours a white head with yellow/gold color. Aroma is grain/light malt-caramel, husky, some herbal hops. Taste is grain/light malt-caramel, husky, some herbal hops. Mild carbonation. Thanks jwc215 for sharing this.

Nice clean aroma and a crisp hoppy flavor and fizzy mouthfeel. Pretty straight-forward but decent.

clear pale gold under a medium sized frothy white head. honey and malt aroma. honey, grainy malt, corn flakes, stale hops in flavor. not a good one. i like the regular windhoek better.

Bottle. Clear yellow-gold with a creamy white head. Balanced aroma and flavour of honeyish malt and grassy hops, with a moderately bittered finish. Crisp body, quite refreshing. Another surprisingly decent Euro-style lager from these guys.
