Not much going on here, just some usual scents of hops and alcohol, but not unappealing in any way. Appearance is half decent gold-brown colour with some head but nothing to cry home about. It’s a decent lager for drinking at the pub with malts, hops, no real alcohol flavour. After all, it’s one of Africa’s better lagers and not a bad choice for something widely distributed.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and yellow with a fully diminished white head. Light cornish aroma. Flavour is medium dry lending towards a dry hoppy note. Mild cardboard in addition. Light acidic touch into the finish.

Can. Pale golden body with a white head. A little malt flavor in the aroma and actually traces of hops. Flavor is just another refreshing, thin watery lager with just almost enough malt and hop to finish the bottle/can. It’s OK, but noting special.

Clean grassy aroma. Brassy gold color with a white head that persevered. Smooth, full bodied, effervescent carbonation, decent light malt, and a hop finish that’s decent. Better than most USA mass produced watery products. Much better.
