(Bottle 34 cl) Clear, deep golden with a gigantic, frothy, off-white head that leaves quite some lacework. Aroma is of malt and brewing cereal. Medium body with a little malt and caramel and an edge of metal. Dry and fairly bitter finish. A level above the Hansa pilsener. 030508

Pale amber color, small white head. Malty nose with papery notes. Reasonably clean, grassy-woody hoppy flavor, some hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste.

Bottled (thanks omhper!). Golden colour, small head. Aroma is grass, malts, hops and quite much hay. Flavour is hay, grass, some sweeter stuff. A rather basic beer.

Bottled. Golden colour, fizzy head. Very light grass aroma. Medium bodied and medium sweet with some very light buttery malt. Low bitterness. If anything it is more similar to a dortmunder than a märzen, but the use of maize is heavily noticable. Still it’s free from off-flavours and has some positive aspects, making it one of the more worthwile commercial products in South Africa.
