Can as "St. Louis Light Lager". Pale yellow color, white head. Dry papery and metallic aroma. Very metallic flavor (because of can?). Otherwise typical "light lager": light corn malty, watery, a bit harsh finish. New country courtesy of omhper.

The is the palest yellow beer I’ve ever seen with a thin white head - only the head wants me to give it a 1 in appearance, the color should give it a 0. The aroma is sour and corny, but the flavor is very different, it is sweet with notes of straw, corn, and soap. And no wonder - the body is thin.

(Can 34 cl) Pours a very pale golden with a decent but clinically white head. Rather unpleasant aroma of sulphur. Light-bodied with a crude bitterness and weak metallic notes. Disharmonious and unpleasant. 070606

Very pale straw colour. Sour, grainy aroma. Watery, slightly grainy. A little bit husky and minerally. No particular bitterness. Creamy water.

Canned. Botswana’s one and only own commecial clear (= non-sorghum) beer pours fizzy pale yellow, but with relatively firm head. The aroma is neutral and nondescript. It’s watery, fizzy and bland - almost Bud Light-like. There’s a vague hint of cereals, nothing more, before it fizzes out into a somewhat metallic finish. The Kgagaladi brewery produces a wide range of license brewed versions of SAB’s beers, but sadly I preferred this one to them in the end.

Bottled, im Maun December 2005. Fizzy yellow appearance. Fruity and mellow, sweet and bland. Raw and unrefined without bitterness or redeeming features.

Bottled in Maun, December 2005. Pale yellow, small fluffy head. Striking adjunct aroma, some popcorn flavour. Really sweet with a lot of fizz. No bitterness. The massive adjunct flavour makes it barely drinkable.
