From bottle in Jo’burg 12.03.15. Almost clear orange. Foamy off-white head. Refreshing hop aroma, with some kind of tropical fruit. Taste and aftertaste is also refreshing and balanced, but perhaps lacking a bit in personality. More aroma and taste of medium dark malt as the beer warms up. Very quaffable!

Bottle from Loco Liquor in Blairgowrie, Johannesburg, bb Aug 2014
The bottle is a slow gusher; it pours a hazy golden-amber color with large compact head, sustained by a turbulent perlage. The aroma is strange, evidently impacted by uncontrolled fermentation, a bit yeasty, although not completely off-putting. But the flavor goes downhill, with strong yeast presence, extremely dry mouthfeel, nasty chicory bitterness, some vegetables; the final is a bit astringent and metallic.
Unpleasant; a little QA wouldn’t hurt.

Pours a hazy amber with a giant head. Moderate bitterness, but indistinct. The malts are also a bit vague, hinting at toast. Ok, but a rather uneven brew.
