0,33 boks fra kiosken på Voortrekker Monument i Pretoria, feb-20: klar gylden med ok skum. En velsmakende og balansert pale ale med en passelig dose tropiske frukter i lag med litt grapefrukt og furunål. Halvtørr avslutning preget av mersmak (eller er det den herlige sommervarmen som er utslagsgivende?). Brygget hos Åbro av CBC brewmaster Wolfgang Koedel, iflg etiketten.

Bottle as CBC Cape Point Pale Ale. An orange beer, a head is medium and blond. Aroma has fruitness of mango, hint of maltyness. Taste has the same mango, some dry grain, mild bitterness. Decent.

11/10/2019. Bottle from The Savanna, Liverpool Street Station, London. As CBC Cape Point Pale Ale. Same 4.8% so have assumed it's the same as this one, but now it says it's brewed in South Africa with no mention of Sweden. Pours clear pale gold with a frothy white head. Aroma of hops, flowers, grass, malt, citrus, caramel and light pine. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Sweetness grows in finish. It's ok.
