Soweto Brew Co - Master’s Brew Original Lager is a golden malty beer with rewarding Munich malt flavour. There are soft toasty bread flavours that often seem like light caramel in the finish. The bitterness is on the low side so that the malt is emphasized, but the residual sugar well controlled.
The quality of the malt is paramount. Well-developed Avangard Munich and Weyerman CaraMunich flavors permeate the beer, with some aromas developed during the kilning of the malt, and others brought out during the mashing process.
Background flavours of chocolate, caramel, and toffee are present, but without actual sweetness.
The beer itself is a deep golden amber, often with a reddish tint when held up to the light. The head is creamy with a light color. The body is moderate, but the mouthfeel may feel a little more full due to dextrinous malts used.
The hop character is minimal. Almost without flavor or aroma hops, the bittering hops provide some balance at 17–20 IBUs. Only finest South African hops such as Southern Passion and Southern Star are used.

Dag 2 i Sør-Afrika, og vi er på Sakhumzi restaurant i Soweto, 50 meter ned i veien fra Nelson Mandelas hus. Halvliter fra fat: lett uklar kobbergylden med fint skum som varer. Deilig maltsmak kombinert med fin fruktighet og delikat bitterhed gjør denne til den beste ølopplevelsen så langt. Var fristet til å be om påfyll, men vi måtte videre.

Tap @Beer House on Long St, Cape Town. 4.6%. Clear amber, offwhite head. Malty, light hoppy aroma. Malty flavor, hoppy bitterness. Finishes kind of herbal. Quite solid for a pale lager.
