Old rating from Aug 2017 - A bottle I picked up in a bottle shop in Dornbirn, Austria of all places & brought back with several hundred others from my trip. One of the first I opened as not often you come across beers from South Africa. It pours a hazy amber colour with a generous creamy head. Aromas of strong citrus & tangerine. Tastes has citrus, tangerine & grapefruit with a medium-low biscuit nuttiness in the background, and some bread. Palate is medium body & medium carbonation. Aftertaste is clean hoppy dry bitterness. Outstanding.
