Popular mass-marketed standard lager, golden colour with snow white head as usual, lightly malty nose, taste light pale maltiness but thin and watery mouthfeel, very little hops in the finish. Very bland.

Pours a clear and golden color. The head, about two fingers of it, is white with a medium retention. The aroma is mild - some malts and grains can be picked up. The taste naturally follows the nose. Sweet beginning of the malts, followed by a light bitterness, slightly watery, in the body, ending with no real finis. Lacks a bit of bitterness.

Can. Aroma yeasty, unbelievable. Horse sweat, acidic. Pale straw clear colour. Taste is on the edge of risk to health. I will not waste time describing, try for yourself.

0,33 l bottle. Pale golden in the glass, a lot of carbonation, medium white head. Low malty and grainy on the nose. Taste? Nearly nothing, typical rice or corn, light grassy, apple with a chemical light bitterness at the end. Nothing I would recommend.

Can, free lounge rating, Johannesburg
Blond color, small head. Some malt aroma and a defined malt flavor; dry but with a good mouthfeel; rather bitter.
Another above the average macro beer from SAB.

330 ml bottle from South Africa. Beer starts grainy, sweet, not nice. No hops visible. The mainpart is sweetly-neutral and grainy. Sweet, bad aftertaste! --> nearly undrinkable! --> 3/6/1/1

Clear light blond beer, small white aery head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: bit sugary, grains, hay, a bit off. MF: soft carbon, light body. Taste: little bitter, grains, bit herbal. Aftertaste: bitter touch, some citrus, sugary impression. South Africa: CHECK. Nothing to do here...
