Can in Joburg SAA lounge, as it was the only refrigerated beverage at the time! It pours yellow with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, corn, maize, white bread, white sugar, cereal and straw. The taste is crisp, subdued sweetness underpinning it, corn, straw, cheap white bread, touch of candied lemon peel, cereal and a touch of spice. Finish is dry. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. There are plenty of worse lagers out there. Drinks easy. Pretty decent for the style.

courtesy of a colleague and friend - many thanks! very pale yellow colour, minimal white head, which disappears promptly; aroma and taste of grains, some cardboard, metallic as well as hints of herbal-grassy notes; quite watery, but not that bad

0,33 boks (takk til Holmen2!), hjemme: klar gylden med kort hvitt skum. Beskjeden aroma av malt, sukat og noe som minner om humle. Søtlig, tynn smak. Ettersmak så å si ikke-eksisterende. Instantly forgettable.

Bottle shared at Colin’s. it pours clear gold with average carbonation. The aroma is papery, white bread, soda water, straw, grass and not much else. The taste is crisp, clean, straw, soda water and cheap white bread with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Doesn’t taste of much, but drinks easy. Fair.
