Super light clear golden coloured body with hardly any head at all. Aroma of citrus, light malt, a touch of very very small hops, a little sweetness and not much of anything else. Light-bodied; Sweet and floral taste at first with some apples and pear flavours coming soon afterward - relatively sweet and mild. Aftertaste shows some funkier malt with a little deep pungent flavour and some metallic notes. Overall, a pretty standard pils, perhaps on the bottom half of the chart - not great. I sampled this 33 cL can purchased at the Skukuza Rest Camp in Kruger National Park, near Nelspruit, South Africa on 21-August-2011 sampled at home in Washington on the other side of the planet on 23-December-2011 a few days before leaving to go back to South Africa on holiday.

Very bland and watery Pils that only has a crisp dry finish worth any note at all.

Smells of bread and not too much else. Has a piss-yellow colour and almost no head. Tastes of hops and water, and goes down incredibly weak. Incredibly forgettable.

Typical lager. Available everywhere, all tastes the same. Nothing stand out. Drink this if there is no other beer available.

(Bottle 34 cl) Clear golden with a dense, white head. Aroma primarily of brewing cereal. Medium body, cardboard being the most dominant flavour. Rather hoppy finish. 030508
