Golden colour. Medium bodied, clean, rounded maltiness, low bitterness. Not bad at all.

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

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

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

(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.

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