12 oz bottle that came in "Beers of the World" multi-pack. Pours clear golden with fluffy white head. Aroma is malt, hops and corn. Flavor is bland with hops, malt, corn and a little honey. Best part of this beer is the drinkability. Smoth drink that is just touch better than Miller Lite.

courtesy of MadDan - very clear pale golden colour, stable white foam; poor aroma with a touch of corn; soft and neutral palate, medium-bodied at best, slightly sweet and no bitterness detected; short tasteless finish - close to water

Considerably more bitter than Windhoek Lager. Decent. I was surprised, pleasantly.

Yellow color, small white head, some lace. Harsh malty nose. Malty, medium-bodied, a bit harsh. Not any big faults but totally boring.

Bottled. Pale yellow colour, big creamy head. Vegetably malty aroma with hints of grass. Quite watery, but weak malt and hops. Not that exciting.

(Bottled@Stockholm Beer Festival 2005) Very pale yellow-golden color with a small head. Corny-malty, slightly acidic aroma. Corny and acidic flavor with very little malt and hops. A pale lager with no distinctive characteristics.
