0.33l bottle shared with The Tasting Crew. This one pours quite a good looking clear deep dark nougat brown body with a medium sized fading and light lacing beige top. It has a really deep nutty sweet aroma this. Lots of oxidized caramel, deep fruits, some wood. It has grown a bit soft on the carbonation this and the mouthfeel is quite slick. More fruit dark sweetness in the flavor, sweet dates, prunes, traces of sherry and it's extremely oxidized. One year past best before date, but I don't mind that a bit. A really good surprise from Africa! Thanks Foffern! 04.03.2013

Not at all bad. Green bottle skunk that I don’t actually mind - gives some funk to a lager at least. Finishes crisp with touch of sweetness. Would certainly rather be drinking this in Namibia, but the lcbo keeps bringing this stuff in, so I gotta rate it. Bottle.

6-pack at the LCBO. Pours a clean golden colour with a frothy white head, good retention and very nice lace, especially for a light beer. Malty nose with a mild hop balancing things (Saaz-like pilsner). Becomes lightly sweet after breathing. Medium-thick mouthfeel with a little stickiness. Again, the malt well-blended with the hop with not overpowering sweetness. Actually, quite good for a light beer. Totally feels like a regular Euro lager, and even that I would say is above average. Nothing light here.

440 ml can. Pale golden body with a foamy white head. Mild grainy aroma. Flavor is sweet grainy and rather neutral, not much bitterness. Thin body and weak aftertaste. Drinkable but definitively not much going on here.

Can. It pours a clear, golden body under a small, white head. Weak, fruity and grainy aroma with some grass. The same goes for the flavor, lacking big time on most things. Almost undetectable bitterness. Thin to medium body, quite dry. Not bad in any way, but utterly boring. Slakes the thirst I guess, but that’s probably all. 130204

Bottle, 4%. Bready aroma, a little ash. Clear golden colour. Small stable white head. Bready flavour. A little watery, but not too unpleasant.

Bottle. Pours clear pale golden airy white head. Blurred, rather ashy aroma of hop. Sweetish aroma of malt with hoppy notes. Slightly dry finish. Richly carbonated. A good thirst quencher but nothing particularly mpressive.
