Bottle 34 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a cloudy golden with no head whatsoever. Very unpleasant phenollic aroma - a discreet whiff of citrus perhaps. Light body, lightly sweet fruit, low carbonation. No hoppiness. Very poor. 050211

(bottle, 34cl) Hazy, pale golden colour with a short frothy layer. Yeasty, pale malty aroma with discreetly fruity notes of citrus/lemon and pears. Sweet-bitter flavour, light bodied but not watery; smooth carbonation. Pale malt-character with notes of white bread and lemony fruity notes; mildly bitter and subtle fruity hoppy finish. 10.XII.10

340ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden with no head. Aroma is skunky and some grassy hops. A bit buttery to start then a hint of lemon. Nice hop bite on the finish. Boring.

340ml bottle from Bacchanalia, Cambridge. Poured hazy amber with a trace of white head, heavy sediment and light carbonation; sweet, grainy aroma; smooth with a malty flavour and a soapy texture; the finish is crisp and biscuity, with perhaps a hint of wet cardboard about it. THis is much less impressive than the West Coast Ale.

2nd August 2008. Slightly cloudy amber beer. Very mild hops and not much else. Okay ice cold on a hot day. At least one beer from this brewery is drinkable!

Bottled. A golden beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with a cloying fruity note, while the flavor is sweet and very fizzy due to overcarbonation, with light notes of malt and a lightly bitter finish. Probably better if sampled in South African, than in London.
