This lager pours a clear light yellow colour with a bright white frothy head. Light aroma of corn and citrus with a little malt and some slight yeasty notes. First sip was a little sour to start then ended up bitter till the finish. The medium palate had lingering bitters and really went off to nothing. Very boring beer.

Flat pale beer, with a slightly chemical aroma and flavour to accompany the light hopps. A poor beer overall.

A golden beer with a nice head - though fast disappearing. The aroma is fresh and dominated by hops but also with malt notes. The taste is primarily refreshing - with a nice malt sweetness and a slight bitterness - a well balanced beer and great for a lager.

Aroma to the sweet side. Golden, crappy head. Thin body, forgettable taste.

Sweetish, bland and with obvious adjunct flavour. Not THAT bad if had under the African sun though.

Sampled in Cape Town, as Castle Lager Draught, apparently the same thing. Has a dull yellow, bronze type of colour, no head and generally doesn’t look at all that appetizing. The aroma is mostly grainy. The taste has some graininess, a little bit of creamed corn sweetness. There is a little bit of dryness in the finish but it’s still just an industrial lager.
