(33 cl bottle from Systembolaget) Clear pale golden color, fast dissapearing white head. Hay, corn and acidic sweet malt scent. Sweet malty taste with a really thin empty aftertaste. Rather dry. Spritzy high co2 mouthfeel. Low bitterness. Not terrible, but not good either.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Malts and slight hops in aroma. Flavour is sweetish malts along with hoppyness. Some metal in the flavour also, especially when it gets warmer the erraneous flavours are there.

[Bottle] Golden colour. Fluffy head. Aroma is dough, yeast and some glue. Medium bodied with dry, grassy bitterness. Tastes like Heineken.

Tin from friend. Aroma of maize, pale barley. Pale colour, small fast moving head. Looks like an industrial beer. Weak flavour, more maize than barley. Tastes like an industrial beer. Metallic finish, perhaps the can was too old, perhaps it’s just that I seldom drink beer from cans. There was a time when I drank this daily, and enjoyed it. I don’t know if it was the African heat, or it was better in those days. It’s better than Miller Lowlife, but not much better. This beer should stay in Seffrica, and not be drunk there.

Can, brewed at Tanzanian Breweries. Golden, with a small, white head. Mild, mostly floral aroma, and a thin flavor of malt and some hops. Thin body, and a bitter and metallic finish. Quite boring, and not too pleasant. (060604)

Bottle. Slightly sour barley malt aroma. LIght golden yellow color with small head and slight effervescence. Slightly sweet barley malt flavor with little hops - mild tasting. Nice taste and balance but nothing special - a typical pale lager.

Can (by MoritzF): Fruity-grainy nose with a light hoppy aroma and a touch of iron; golden coloured, bigger fluffy head, slowly diminishing; faint bitterness on a delicate sweet-malty base, extremely light-bodied; short, faint sweetish-bitter finish. Refreshing, but watery....................

Botttle. Nice creamy lasting head. Yellow colour. Week malty aroma. Nice taste, a little sweet. OK palate, but ofcourse a little watery, but nice overseas pale lager.
