Bottle. Clear yellow with big white head. Quite neutral but not bad. Some bitterness and a hint of malt. Thin body.

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.

Bought this for the novelty of drinking a Namibian beer! Pours yellow gold, moderate head no lace. No real aromas, a little soapy maybe. Copy of the North American macro pale lagers-- easy drinking, no character. Nothing special, but if I were in Namibia, I’d be content to beat the heat with this.

Bottled. Pale golden coloured. Weak aroma. Sweet and bland flavour. Thin and very boring.
