Light bronze colour. Aroma is interesting, oxidized and maybe banana. Tastes a bit cardboard. Ancient weissbier, a comedy tick.

On tap at Craft Stellenbosch. Pours murky dull blonde with a white head. Dry esters and dusty dry grass on the nose. Flavour has a thin body, dry esters, some damp straw. It's very pretty average.

On tap at Craft Stellenbosch. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Very light floral grass on the nose. Flavour has dry grass and thin dry cracker malts. Weak body, little hops; not much to like here.

Poured from 440mL bottle at my 39th bday (expires 2023/03). Saved from my 2014 trip to South Africa to share one day (today's the day!). Clear-ish gold with minimal white head. Light esters, weird fruity feint oxidated tartness, better than expected for its age and style, but still fairly bad.

500ml @ Ryan's (thx for keeping this since your South Africa 2014 trip "to share it with beer geeks at some point" 😂) on his 39th celebration.
Aroma: malty, oxidized, some esters.
Taste: along the same lines.
Overall: not bad for 14 years old stuff from the macrobrewery.

[2011 vintage] Bottle pour. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Skunky malts and wheat on the nose. Flavour has a lot of cardboard, excess sugars, soft wheat. Meh.
