Can in Joburg SAA lounge, as it was the only refrigerated beverage at the time! It pours yellow with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, corn, maize, white bread, white sugar, cereal and straw. The taste is crisp, subdued sweetness underpinning it, corn, straw, cheap white bread, touch of candied lemon peel, cereal and a touch of spice. Finish is dry. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. There are plenty of worse lagers out there. Drinks easy. Pretty decent for the style.

0,33 boks (takk til Holmen2!), hjemme: klar gylden med kort hvitt skum. Beskjeden aroma av malt, sukat og noe som minner om humle. Søtlig, tynn smak. Ettersmak så å si ikke-eksisterende. Instantly forgettable.

330ml can. Pours clear yellow with a small white head. Aroma is corn, metal, malt. Taste is grain and metal, which becomes more apparent as the beer heats up.

Mein erstes Bier aus Südafrika. Angeblich gibt es dort ja eine lebendige Bierkultur, aber ich habe nur dieses eine Bier zum Bestellen gefunden. Ich finde den Aufwand nicht wirklich wert, da es recht fade ist. Man kann es leicht trinken. aber aromentechnisch ist es sehr einfach gestrickt

Bottle at home, golden beer, medium head. Aroma is grain, malt, sweet. Taste is some grain and malt, light sweetness. For a pale lager not bad, easy drinkable no horrible aftertaste... wow i expected worse.

Bottle. Clear golden body with no head or lacing. Steady carbonation. Aroma of honey, wort and wet grass. Flavour of sweet malt and sugary water. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. Overly sweet and not very good.

Backlog from 11.04.12 in Cape Town. "At SAB Miller’s Newlands Brewery tap (’The Provincial Arms’), with a sample of their fermented maize liquid. Castle Lager on draught. Pale golden in colour, shiningly bright and persistent white head, which appearance is bordering to artificial. Highly carbonated. Some hop aroma. Taste of sugary water with a somewhat slimy mouthfeel. Slightly crude aftertaste with hints of bitterness. More tasty and bitter than the bottled version, although that doesn’t take much to achieve."
